What CASC Engineering and Consulting does

CASC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. is a privately held, multi-disciplined civil and environmental engineering consulting firm founded in 1993 and headquartered in Colton, California. The company employs nearly 70 professionals across five offices spanning Southern California (Inland Empire, Los Angeles/Ventura, Coachella Valley, Orange County, Temecula/San Diego) and Tyler, Texas. It delivers integrated professional services across ten core service lines: Land Use Planning, Civil Engineering, Water Quality and NPDES, Land Surveying/Mapping, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Drone/sUAS Services, Natural Resources, Environmental Sustainability, Public Works/Transportation, and Energy Services.

The firm's service portfolio is built around navigating California's complex regulatory environment (CEQA/NEPA, NPDES/MS4, resource agency permitting) and supporting the full project lifecycle from initial entitlements and planning through engineering, surveying, environmental compliance, drone-enabled data capture, and construction support. CASC's technology platform combines GIS-based spatial analysis, FAA-certified drone operations (AUVSI Top Operator Program Level 2), photogrammetry, GPS/geodetic surveying, and AutoCAD Civil 3D-based civil design into a single multi-disciplinary delivery model. Notable technical differentiators include integration across all seven core service lines under one roof and demonstrated sustainability outcomes (e.g., nearly 80% reduction in runoff and pollutant discharges at its own headquarters through BMP retrofits).

CASC generates revenue on a project-based professional services model with multi-year, multi-million dollar contracts. Its customer base is primarily public-sector (municipal, county, and state agencies including the San Bernardino Community College District, County of Riverside TLMA, City of Industry, and City of Cypress) with growing exposure to private developers, national homebuilders, renewable energy developers (solar, wind, BESS, transmission), and enterprises such as KTM Motorsports (for whom it delivered the $53M, 20-acre KTM North America Headquarters Campus in Riverside County, completed March 2023). The firm is privately held with founder/management ownership under President and co-founder Rick Sidor, with no disclosed external equity or venture backing.
