45 Years of Excellence: Honoring Yamabe & Horn Engineering and a Lifetime Achievement Award!
This year marks a monumental milestone for Yamabe & Horn Engineering, Inc. as we celebrate 45 years of providing innovative civil engineering and land surveying services to Central California. Founded in 1979 by Ronald Yamabe and Gary Horn, the firm has grown from humble beginnings into a cornerstone of the local engineering community. Our journey has been one of passion, dedication, and a steadfast commitment to improving the infrastructure that supports our region.
Adding to this year’s celebrations, we are proud to honor our co-founder Gary Horn, who was recently awarded the prestigious ASCE Lifetime Achievement Award by both the Fresno Branch and the San Francisco Section Region 9 of the American Society of Civil Engineers. This recognition underscores Gary’s extraordinary contributions to the field and his enduring impact on the industry.
Since its inception, Yamabe & Horn Engineering has played a key role in shaping the cities and communities of the San Joaquin Valley. Under Ronald and Gary’s leadership, the firm has delivered countless projects that range from designing municipal water systems to creating parks and trails that enhance the quality of life for residents.
Ronald and Gary have inspired generations of engineers, instilling the values of integrity, precision, and teamwork that define Yamabe & Horn today. What started as a two-person operation has grown into a thriving organization of over 50 team members, each carrying forward the vision set by its founders.
45 Years of Building Community
Reflecting on the past 45 years, our firm’s success is a testament to the trust and partnerships we’ve built with our clients and the community. From commercial developments to municipal projects, every endeavor has been driven by a commitment to excellence. We are proud to be part of the growth and progress in Central California and look forward to continuing our mission of service and stewardship for years to come.
The ASCE Lifetime Achievement Award is a fitting recognition for Gary’s decades of leadership and innovation. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Gary has also contributed significantly to civic life, volunteering with Valley Christian Center and the Valley Dream Center, where he has supported programs that serve the underserved. His life and career exemplify the values of family, service, and community that are at the heart of Yamabe & Horn Engineering.
