Project Testimonials

"The primary project on which we have worked with CEI has been the Peaks to Plains Trail through Clear Creek Canyon, west of Golden, Colorado. The project has been incredibly challenging due to the site constraints of not only steep terrain but Clear Creek and Highway 6 which share the narrow space through the 16-mile canyon. The caliber of the work and the quality of care exhibited by everyone at CEI associated with our project has been truly exemplary. The team conducts itself in an environmentally conscious way, and we continue to consider CEI staff as a critical partner in a legacy trail project that will long outlast us all."

— Scot Grossman, PMP, Projects Team Supervisor, Jefferson County
