Heath Salmon, PE
Heath's path runs from the trades to a licensed engineer, which is why HGS clients work with someone who has hands-on field experience many engineers never get.
HGS Engineering was founded to provide more honest, higher-quality engineering than was commonly available in the industry.
– HGS Engineering mission
In Heath's Own WordsI began my experience in the industry by working in foundation repair for a family business at an early age and continued to do so for a decade along with performing various other trades in home construction, getting important hands-on experience that many engineers will never get.
I received my degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Texas at Arlington, and I also acquired my home inspection license while going to school. Performing home inspections for four years was a great introduction into the real estate market and learning what is needed by clients and realtors.
I went on to work in the design and construction of highways and bridges, ranging from major highway interchanges for TxDOT and NTTA, to city intersections and utilities for local municipalities such as Arlington, Fort Worth and Plano.
Once I attained my PE license, I started my own firm with a passion to provide better and more honest engineering services than I had seen available across the industry.
