Breaking News: We found the end of the rainbow, and it’s... Y&H! No pot of gold here though, just a bunch of engineers making sure your streets and parking lots don’t flood 😅

We may have lost the game, but we won at tailgating! This past Saturday, our team came together for a great time at the Fresno State vs. Washington State game. A little sun didn’t stop us from enjoying fantastic BBQ, great company, and awesome seats. Special shoutout to our outstanding team members; Danelle Snyder, Jose Gil, and Sergio Alvarado for making the event happen. Go Dogs!

Yamabe & Horn was honored to sponsor and participate in the recent Inaugural Sanger Police Foundation (SPF) Golf Tournament. One of Y&H's own, Nathan Roberts, even got a hole-in-one on the first hole and his first swing of the day! The SPF does incredible work supporting the Sanger Police Department, recently helping with the purchase of a K-9 and providing much-needed equipment and training for the Sanger Police Explorers youth program. Serving the City of Sanger as the consulting City Engineer and Surveyor for over 35 years, we're proud to contribute to the community in and out of the office. Thank you to everyone who made this event possible, and we look forward to continuing our support of the Sanger Police Foundation and the community we’ve been fortunate to serve for decades.

We had the pleasure of attending the LCOE Industry Expo at California State University, Fresno! It was an incredible turnout, and we were thrilled to meet so many bright and aspiring engineers. A big thank you to all the students who stopped by our booth to chat with us and thank you, Lyles College of Engineering, for hosting this fantastic event!

Project update! The groundbreaking ceremony for the new 2,500 sq. ft. Visitor Center at Clovis Botanical Gardens was held yesterday. This project, located on the City of Clovis property adjacent to Dry Creek Park at Clovis and Alluvial Ave., is made possible by $2 million in community contributions. The new center will feature a meeting room for educational events and a gift shop showcasing local artisans, all staffed by dedicated volunteers. Y&H is proud to participate in this incredible project, providing site surveying, wet utility connection and coordination, site facilities design outside the building footprint, parking lot expansion design, City and FMFCD approval, and construction staking.

🎉 Exciting news from Y&H and the City of Selma CA! We recently celebrated a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the groundbreaking of the Amberwood Sewer Infrastructure project. This significant development is a key part of our city's growth strategy, expanding our utility infrastructure to support the future outlined in the Amberwood Specific Plan. This phase involves installing around 2.5 miles of new sanitary sewer improvements, stretching from Golden State Boulevard to Floral Avenue along our southern border. Our team is working closely with Selma Kingsburg Fowler Sanitation District, Fresno County, and Union Pacific Railroad to ensure smooth execution, including a specialized jack and bore construction for a 72" steel carrier pipe under UPRR's right of way and Golden State Blvd. The Amberwood Specific Plan, approved in 2015, covers approximately 670 acres on Selma's eastern edge. It envisions 2,558 residential units and 131,200 square feet of commercial space. The construction phase of this vital project is estimated to cost $7 million. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to build a brighter future for Selma!

We’re thrilled to share the successful completion of our Federal project in the City of Chowchilla! Working closely with the City, Yamabe & Horn led the transformation of unimproved dirt alleys into functional corridors with asphalt surfacing and efficient drainage systems. This endeavor, funded in part by the Federal CMAQ program, Local Gas Tax, and Measure T Tax, exemplifies our commitment to enhancing urban infrastructure for our local municipalities! #CivilEngineering #LandSurveying #InfrastructureUpgrade #CityofChowhilla
