Award-Winning Collaboration Enhances Mobility and Safety for Yorba Linda
GMU is honored to share that the Bastanchury Road Widening Project in Yorba Linda has been awarded Project of the Year by the American Society of Civil Engineers – Orange County Branch (ASCE OC) for 2025.
This ambitious infrastructure improvement project addressed longstanding congestion and mobility challenges on Bastanchury Road between Casa Loma and Eureka Avenues. Previously a two-lane corridor, the roadway was expanded to four lanes with enhanced vertical sight distance, signalized intersections, a new sidewalk, reconstructed trail system, and improved landscape features.
GMU’s engineering and construction support helped deliver the project efficiently, safely, and with added value to the City of Yorba Linda. Our team provided:
Geotechnical and pavement engineering during project design
Geotechnical observation, testing, and registered special inspection during construction
On-call consultation during the rainy season to address subgrade challenges and recommend cement treatment to stabilize wet soils
“Projects like this are what our work is all about—making communities safer and stronger through sound engineering,” said Aron Taylor, CEO of GMU. “We’re proud to contribute our expertise to public projects that have long-lasting benefits.”
The project now serves as a regional example of collaborative success between city leadership, engineers, inspectors, and construction teams. It also exemplifies GMU’s commitment to practical, high-performance geotechnical solutions.
