About Us

Over Three Decades of Relationships

J. B. Trimble, Inc. (JBT) was founded in 1968 by James B. Trimble, a 1954 graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology. Mr. Trimble served two years of active duty as a Lieutenant in the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers from 1955-1957 and worked for several well-established consulting firms prior to starting the firm.

The firm initially focused on strictly structural design including bridges, schools, commercial and industrial facilities, tunnels, buildings, tall steel stacks, communication towers, water and wastewater treatment plants, pump stations, rustic camp facilities, retaining walls, and construction shoring.

Significant milestones include:

• In June of 1997, the firm began an expansion into the transportation engineering market that continues to this day. The expansion was fueled by the addition of a number of experienced roadway and hydraulic design professionals.
  
  
• In late 2000, we opened a regional office in Birmingham , Alabama that is responsible for serving Alabama as well as Mississippi , Tennessee , and the Florida panhandle.
  
  
• In August 2001 we started an environmental services division to provide specialty services including community impact and environmental justice analysis and assessments, stormwater management, air quality analysis, and noise impact studies.
  
  
• In May of 2002 Georgia DOT selected JBT to provide turn-key engineering design for a 32 mile section of SR-133 from Albany to Moultrie in southwest Georgia.
  
  
• In May of 2003 with the addition of key personnel, we began offering water and sewer engineering services out of our Birmingham office.

Throughout the years, our projects have required JBT engineers to work as part of multi-disciplinary engineering teams as well as with architects and environmental process designers. To date, JBT has consulted with more than 50 of the nation’s “Fortune 500” companies, numerous universities, and dozens of local government entities throughout the Southeastern United States.
