ABOUT THE OWNERS

Cliff Mansfield

I'm Cliff Mansfield, president and owner of Cliff Mansfield Incorporated. C.M. Consulting is one of 3 divisions of this parent company. I have worked in the paving industry since 1975. I started as a ground-man on a 1951 StanSteel RM-40, but soon moved up to plant operator. Within a year I was in charge of three plants and their personnel. Since 1975 I have been in direct contact with all styles of asphalt plants and have acquired a strong background in on-going operations and repairs. I started C.M. Consulting in 1990 and have been in 97 countries on 6 continents since then.

Now, after nearly 20 years of traveling the world repairing asphalt plants and training personnel in such exotic locations as Tunguska Russia, Saipan FMI, Wake Island, Kwajalein Atoll, The Cayman Islands and many others I am finally convinced I have seen enough of the world. I am working to focus my asphalt plant engineering business into the western USA. I have nearly 45 years of experience with asphalt plants and have extensive customer references all over the USA and the world.

In recent years “burner tuning” has become a very large part of the services we offer. Today’s fuel prices mean that if I can tune a client’s burner to save even 5% of the fuel they were using it is a significant savings, worth the effort to pursue. While our primary mission is plant set-up, restart, repair, and personnel training, we strive to provide a well-rounded service capable of addressing any problems that arise. See the "Services" page for the types of services we offer.

My hobbies include writing, collecting old guns, motorcycles, airplane racing (spectator only) and building Hot Rod cars. If you attend any of the major west coast car shows chances are you will see one of our cars on display. See photos below:
