Protecting Your Investment with Vision & Creativity
Background and company information: Clear Creek & Associates (CCA) is a consulting engineering firm which works in both domestic and international markets. We focus on agricultural based projects such as upcountry elevators, shuttle loading facilities, barge loading facilities, port terminals, and milling facilities. Our projects store a wide range of materials including the following: bulk powders, meals, pellets, grains, etc. What has set CCA aside from other firms in the industry is our background and choice of software. We design all of our projects in 3D using a BIM modeling software. This has allowed us to model actual approval drawings for equipment and structures, then work out interferences prior to final approval for manufacturing. Key Personnel
Rodney Carpenter, Senior Managing Partner o Started CCA in 2001 after a 26 year career at Brock MFG running product
development and engineering. Responsible for overseeing initial design, answering questions about unique or situational issues for owners, support for internal engineers.
Joshua Munson, President and Senior Structural Engineer o Prior to CCA he worked for a Structural Engineering Firm in Chicago who
specialized in high-rise buildings. After spending several years in Abu Dhabi on a 7million sq.ft. high-rise as project manager he arrived at CCA. For this project he will be the team leader responsible for engineering and design on projects, review and issue construction drawings.
Mark Workman, Senior Engineer o Prior to CCA he worked for Brock/Butler manufacturing (corrugated steel bin
manufacturers), 2 smooth wall steel bin manufacturers, and was responsible for product development and engineering. Currently he is running CCA’s second office CCA in Leawood, Kansas where he services the central U.S. for inspections.
Austin Carpenter, Sales Manager o Began in drafting at CCA before moving into sales. He is responsible for initial
communications prior to contract, quoting projects, project presentations, document collection prior to engineering. He also attend initial meetings for project discussions.
