Josh Rogers, a senior project manager with the company since 2007, becomes the first addition to the executive team in the past ten years, as reported by yandhengr.com

Fresno, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/16/2014 -- Yamabe & Horn Engineering, Inc. proudly announces the addition of a fifth principal to the executive team, the first addition to this team in ten years. Josh Rogers, a senior project manager, joined the firm in 2007, after working with Quad Knopf and CalTrans. Mr. Rogers currently functions as the City Engineer for the City of Sanger, a long time client of Yamabe & Horn.

"Josh has proven to be an outstanding asset to the team, leveraging his strong network within the Central Valley. In addition, he brings a deep knowledge of what it takes to get complex municipal projects through public works departments and CalTrans. Clients find the assistance of Josh to be invaluable," David Horn, spokesperson for Yamabe & Horn Engineering, Inc., explains.

Yamabe & Horn works with a wide range of clients, including municipal, institutional, and commercial organizations. Residential developers turn to Yamabe & Horn for their development projects, while the in-house Certified Access Specialist assists local businesses in need of help when it comes to accessibility and ADA compliance. Others benefiting from the services of this company include traffic projects and those in need of land surveying.

"When you have an engineering project of any type, don't hesitate to call on our firm. We'll sit down with you to determine your needs and how we may fill them. We never make use of a one-size fits all approach, choosing to develop solutions based on the client's needs and budget," Horn continues.

Yamabe & Horn remains committed to growth, and the addition of Josh Rogers comes immediately on the heels of the opening of the firm's first remote office. This office opened on the Central Coast in Soledad, California, allowing the growing civil engineering firm to better serve its existing coastal clients.

"Yamabe & Horn assists clients with all of their civil engineering needs. When you find you are in need of a civil engineer for any task, don't hesitate to call on us. We'll be happy to discuss your project with you to see how we can be of help," Horn declares.

Principals develop the project from start to finish, selecting a project manager with the skills necessary to do the job right, while also establishing project parameters and controls. Principals also maintain close involvement and remain in contact with the client to ensure the project is successfully executed and the project delivery remains consistent with the budget and timeline established with the client. Yamabe & Horn Engineering, Inc. isn't satisfied until the client is.

New office will bring the company's engineering services close to clients on California's Central Coast, Yamabe & Horn Reports

Soledad, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/07/2014 -- Yamabe & Horn Engineering, Inc. today announced the opening of its new office in Soledad, in the Central Coast region of California. This office allows both municipal and private development clients from San Luis Obispo to Santa Cruz to easily access our Central Coast engineering services.

"Our Salinas engineering services bring our full suite of offerings close to our Central Coast customers and allow us to respond to their needs much more quickly. This will help them to get all types of large projects completed in an efficient and timely way," said Ryan Rabbon of Yamabe & Horn Engineering.

These services are far-reaching, and are needed for a wide variety of projects. Municipalities often hire the firm for a variety of civil engineering and municipal surveying tasks. These include public works expansions, master planning for water, sewer, and storm drainage, federally-funded transportation projects, and more.

"We also take care of a variety of institutional engineering needs," Rabbon added. "Grading and drainage are just the start. We're also involved in designing ADA-compliant aspects of new sites or upgrading old ones to meet the requirements. Such engineering can involve finding ways to use ramps in outdoor locations in ways that retain the visual beauty of the site, eliminating unexpected hazards, and other such issues. We also cover storm drainage hydraulics, overall site utility design, and related aspects."

Private development sites often need the same type of work for their commercial engineering projects, though they often include other factors like wastewater control. "Wastewater handling, however, varies depending on what type of businesses are using the site," Rabbon explained. "An industrial location may need holding ponds or chemical waste treatment facilities, while a shopping mall needs to handle a large amount of sewage. We figure out the best way to handle all site-specific requirements."

Residential engineering needs can be surprisingly similar to their commercial counterparts in some ways. Sewer design and ADA-compliant access to common areas are absolute requirements. One difference is how road engineering and traffic patterns come into play. Many people will leave or enter the subdivision during a short period of time thanks to people tending to have similar work schedules, so exit points need to be designed in a way that minimizes traffic jams.

"As the requirements for all of these project types shows, it's very important for us to be able to have engineers close enough to physically visit the development sites at various stages during the process of actually building the various features that are needed. That's why we've decided to add an office specifically for Central Coast engineering projects. It will greatly increase our efficiency and our ability to watch what's going on as it happens."

About Yamabe & Horn Engineering, Inc.
Yamabe & Horn Engineering is an engineering firm that focuses on large projects such as municipal works, large commercial developments, and subdivision construction. It employs several lead engineers with the necessary specialization to complete these projects and provide help all through the development process.

Fresno branch of the ASCE also honors company founder Gary Horn, capping momentous year of successes for company, Yamabe & Horn reports

Soledad, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/13/2014 -- Civil engineering and land surveying firm Yamabe & Horn Engineering received the 2014 Small Project of the Year award from the Fresno branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the company reports. Yamabe & Horn provided engineering services which allowed Grundfos, a major industrial pump manufacturer based in Fresno, to greatly cut its water consumption levels. The Yamabe & Horn-designed retention ponds, water-collection systems, and other enhancements have helped Grundfos lower its water usage by over 80%, and it now reclaims and reuses large quantities of water that would have previously gone to waste entirely.

"We're proud to accept this ASCE award commending our work on the Grundfos water conservation project," company representative Ryan Rabbon said, "and it serves as a fitting capstone on what has been a terrific year for us here at Yamabe & Horn." Providing civil engineering and land surveying services throughout the Central Valley and Coast regions, Yamabe & Horn has grown to become one of the largest such specialists in the area, a distinction that has been pointed out in the Fresno Business Journal. The company has added a number of registered engineers to its staff in recent months and plans to continue expanding so as to better meet the demand for its services.

"In addition to this prestigious award for the company's work on the Grundfos project," Rabbon continued, "Y & H founder Gary Horn was recognized as the Outstanding Civil Engineer in Private Practice at the ASCE Fresno awards banquet," Rabbon continued, "which is a flattering reflection of the quality of work he and the company have been doing." Founded in 1979, Yamabe & Horn has been headquartered in Fresno ever since. The company opened a new satellite office in May of this year as a way of better serving the increasing number of Central Coast clients it has been doing work for and hopes to further augment its service area and capabilities in the near future.

The latest award from the Fresno branch of the ASCE is one of many Y and H ENGR has received over its decades in business. The company continues to be one of the busiest and most-utilized in the state, having recently finished work on several bridge, sidewalk design, and street widening projects. Its work on the reconstruction of Front Street in Soledad, where its new satellite office is located, was especially successful, exceeding the hopes and expectations of the interested parties in several respects, and included close and fruitful collaboration with impacted businesses. Well-established as a leader in the Central Valley engineering community, the company set out years ago to become a similar force for Central Coast engineering and finds itself well along the way to that goal at the present time.

About Yamabe & Horn Engineering, Inc.
A leading Central Valley and Central Coast civil engineering firm, Yamabe & Horn Engineering was founded in 1979 in Fresno. Over the course of its several decades in business, the company has garnered an impressive list of awards and a long record of successful completion of some of the most important and challenging projects in the state.
