Guzman
& Muñoz
Engineering and Surveying, Inc. (GMES) has
been providing professional engineering, surveying,
planning, and construction management services in South Texas for over
39 years. GMES was established in 1973 in the City of Harlingen, under
the name of Guzman & Galindo Inc. In 1974, Guzman &
Galindo, Inc. became Guzman & Associates, Inc. In 1994, Guzman
& Associates became Guzman & Muñoz
Engineering and Surveying Inc (GMES), under the direction of the
current owner, Mr. Jose L. Munoz, P.E., S.I.T.
Presently,
GMES’s new corporate Headquarters is located in Mercedes,
Texas right off Expressway 83. GMES’s presence has
progressively increased throughout the years in South Texas. To further
enhance our level of service, GMES has Satellite Field Offices located
in McAllen and Harlingen. The basis for efficient communication between
our offices was started in the early 1990’s. At that time,
GMES implemented the use of a networked computer system. This enabled
GMES to implement and use GPS surveying equipment, aerial mapping, and
CAD.
Because GMES always uses the latest and most advance technology, in the
office and in the field, it is our goal to give our clients the most
accurate, easy to understand and expeditious product possible. GMES is
always upgrading our field collection equipment. Our field crews are
presently using ROBOTIC REMOTE CONTROL TOTAL STATIONS, SCANNERS,
DIGITAL LEVELS, and DATA COLLECTORS. By doing this, GMES can eliminate
the possibility of human errors. These tools placed GMES in a
leadership position to perform large surveys and topography based
projects.
GMES strives to provide high quality
professional services within the agreed time frame. We accomplish this
through our personnel, field equipment, transportation, and vanguard
office equipment. A fleet of vehicles owned by GMES ensures reliable
transportation to address GLO related matters outside our offices.
Further, our state-of-the-art data systems serve to standardize our
work, and to facilitate data storage, retrieval, and communication
between our offices resulting in accurate, precise, and timely delivery
of our services to GLO.
