Mr. Bonadiman’s son, Joseph S.C. Bonadiman, P.E., became President of the firm in 1979. Under his direction, JBA formed its sister company, CivilDesign® Corporation, and developed the CIVILCADD® suite of Civil Engineering software applications. In 1985, Dennis W. Jackson, P.E. joined the firm and expanded CivilDesign’s development efforts to include the hydrology and hydraulics applications that have become industry standards and are used by hundreds of professionals in the public as well as private sectors.
Joseph S.C. Bonadiman’s son, Edward J. Bonadiman, P.L.S., became President of JBA in 2006. His leadership has allowed the firm to include various new and emergent technologies in its portfolio, such as geospatial analysis and three-dimensional hydrology and hydraulics modeling. Even with these advancements, however, the firm has not lost focus on the core competencies that have been instrumental to its success. In an every-evolving industry, JBA has remained true to its original mission: superior service and an unwavering dedication to its clients. |
