Our Company

History

In 1950, Templeton Link & Associates (TL&A) began. They offered engineering and surveying services to clients along the Wasatch Front for 40 years. In 1991, Larry Gilson, a project manager for TL&A, purchased the company and Gilson Engineering was born.

Gilson Engineering continues to offer civil and structural engineering services as well as surveying services. We also provide construction management services. Gilson Engineering is a Utah corporation and licensed to do work in Utah. The staff at Gilson Engineering consists of:

  • Professional engineers
  • EITs
  • Surveyors
  • Civil designers
  • Drafters
  • Administrative staff

Philosophy

We consider institutional, economic, legal, and social intervention when approaching a project, not just engineering solutions. The first technical solution might not always be the best solution for the owner because each project is unique.

Above all, we work with each client to offer solutions customized to their circumstance. We believe in offering a team with solutions and having thorough and accurate plans as this is critical to the success of any project. However, our team is flexible with changes as plans move forward.

Internal Policies

Gilson Engineering has published CAD standards in addition to a QA/QC Plan that guide staff through tasks. These guidelines help the project manager and team members give the best end-product to our clients.

Our Mission

At Gilson Engineering our goal is to continue to be a community leader in the Civil Engineering Field and to maintain our successful relationships with those who make our goal possible.

We are committed to serving our clients in the most professional, efficient manner possible. In our business, client service is especially important.  We spend a great deal of time visiting with and listening to our clients as well as studying their needs.  Our business is highly competitive and simply doing good design, survey, inspection, research, or writing is no longer enough to satisfy.  We must be able to deal with the widest range of client needs and produce a fully proficient service.
