“An engineering and surveying firms biggest
asset is the quality of its employees and how well they work with their clients.”
~ Dean A. Lyon, President
Dean Lyon started his career as
an aspiring young engineer before he even graduated from college. Working
full-time while attending Arizona State University, he learned first hand the
value of hard work and dedication. At the same time he realized that the
management philosophy of the larger firms he worked for was counterproductive
and de-motivating.
Four years after graduation Dean
formed his first company, Lyon & Associates, in 1978. His focus was to
employ individuals who had the motivation and dedication it took to become
professional engineers and land surveyors. At the same time he wanted his
employees to enjoy their chosen profession and be able to have fun on the job.
Dean strongly believed that it took more then just hard work and long hours to
move up in your career and become a successful professional. It took the freedom
to be creative and ambitious, to take pride in ones work, and maintaining an
open mind to learning every day of your career.
We at Lyon Engineering are
committed to Dean’s original focus and it remains the basis of our success to
this day. Opening our doors in 1995, we have designed a multitude of diverse
projects covering all facets of transportation, water resources, land
development, and planning. Our client base covers an even broader spectrum of
companies and individuals including; land developers, general contractors,
municipalities, state agencies, and the federal government. Throughout our 13
plus years we have produced safe, quality designs that have helped enhance the
community. As a result, Lyon Engineering has grown into the largest locally
owned and operated Civil Engineering and Land Surveying firm in the Prescott
tri-city area.
How we work for you
Lyon Engineering takes a forward thinking approach to our
engineering designs and the staff that produce them. We do not hire CADD
technicians or drafters, all of our engineers are trained to produce their own
engineering plans and survey calculations. Our clients communicate directly with
the engineer of record for the project (a Principal of our firm) and the design
engineer who will produce the plan sets, reports, etc. This allows Lyon
Engineering to be more timely and efficient in our work while providing a more
personal approach to our clients.
Similar to our engineering approach, we do not hire
survey technicians (rodmen) with the intention that they remain in that
position. We provide the on the job training necessary to become party chiefs
and eventually, Registered Land Surveyors. This serves a dual purpose for our
firm. It makes our surveyors increasingly efficient and precise in their work
while fostering a sense of pride and accomplishment. The result is an
exceptional survey staff that consists of highly motivated, professional
individuals.
