Y&H is excited to be implementing a conversion in our CAD program to Autodesk Civil 3D. This week, many of our technical staff will be getting training from our software dealer. We are confident that this new upgrade will help our staff improve our product for our clients.
Surveyors usually have their feet firmly planted on the ground. We were able to work out of the box a bit for a Solar Panel company we have been providing services for by spending some time on the roof. We recently surveyed two large industrial buildings near Oxnard, CA which will soon be supporting large solar panels. It was important to our client that they know exactly where any facilities are on the roof so there are no conflicts with the new panels.
Located at Shields and Armstrong, a new Chevron gas station recently opened for business. We are proud to have helped the developer and contractor with the surveying and civil engineering. Led by Philip Romero, our tasks began in 2004 with the Tentative and Final Parcel Map used to create the individual parcel. Our engineers provided the street improvement plans as well as the on-site grading, drainage and utility plans. Our survey crews were asked to provide construction staking to the contractor.
Yamabe and Horn was selected by the Fresno Redevelopment Agency to provide Land Surveying and Civil Engineering services for a street median project near downtown Fresno. The project will improve a portion of Tulare Street west of Freeway 99. This project is an extension of a similar previous project along Tulare Street. We are looking forward to continue working with the RDA and to help improve Downtown Fresno.
Two new classroom buildings are nearly complete at the Dos Palo High School. The classrooms will house the students teachers dispaced by the fire that destroyed the wood and ag shops in December of 2009. Our staff provided the surveying and civil engineering required to construct the two buildings. We are proud to have helped the students and faculty get these new classrooms.
Construction continues on a 1.25 mile pedestrian and bicycle trail through Orange Cove, CA. The project will convert an abandoned railroad right of way into a public trail for the community.
The survey and improvement plans began in 2006 for a new Multi-purpose building, parking lot, classrooms and upgraded underground utilities. The first classrooms are nearing completion and will be ready for this school year. The steel structure for the Multi-purpose building is currently under construction.
