In my positions at Cowlitz County Department of Public Works and Beacon Hill Water and Sewer District, I have worked with Gibbs & Olson on quite a few projects over the last 20 years ranging in variety from water and sewer line replacements and sewer and stormwater pump stations to land surveying.

Their proactive approach to handling all aspects of civil engineering ensured that we stayed ahead of regulatory requirements and avoided potential project delays.

The City of Elma has worked with Gibbs & Olson for nearly three decades and they have been a trusted partner in the growth and development of the city. Their expertise has been valuable in both large-scale projects, such as the design of a new wastewater treatment plant and smaller infrastructure improvements that are essential to the daily functioning of our community. They always seem to be available to take that “quick call.” Their team always delivers consistent quality and professionalism to every project.

S ince hiring Gibbs & Olson as our on call engineers, we have felt a huge relief. It is important to have clear communication and honesty and a feeling of personal service when using an engineering firm and Gibbs & Olson provides that in spades! Their quality of service and communication does not lack. They are always on point and on task. They are a team player for sure, and provide that personal touch of service that you may not get with larger firms. What I love is the fact that as a water and wastewater operator, they listen to the operators instead of just pulling out a default file on a project just because it is “tried and true.” They are open to new ideas and willing to adjust their direction if there is a better way or if the operator wants something done a certain way but without compromising the quality of work and walking through the project with the client to their satisfaction. Our only regret is that we did not go with them sooner.

We highly recommend Gibbs & Olson.
