About GSS-PH

Global sourcing is becoming a popular, effective option for handling routine production tasks in the field of engineering. We recognized this opportunity in 1997 and we are proud to say that through our enduring commitment, GSS-PH put itself on the global map – emerging from a small drafting operation into an effective civil design engineering support services company with a truly international reach.

GSS-PH specializes in providing technical support services in the area of civil engineering design for land development projects. We are proficient at preparing civil engineering improvement plans such as rough grading plans, erosion control plans, street improvement plans, storm drain improvement plans, water and sewer improvement plans, final tract plans, precise grading plans, plot plans and sales disclosure exhibits. GSS-PH is also proficient at preparing conceptual and precise grading plans for commercial projects. GSS-PH provides hydrology and hydraulic calculations in support of our Client’s drainage report. In-Tract hydrology calculations are performed using the Rational method. We prepare hydrology maps showing the drainage sub-areas, nodal points with their respective elevations, and longest watercourses. Catch basin sizing is performed using the City of Los Angeles and LACFCD methodology or Haestad’s Flowmater computer software. Hydraulic analysis is performed using the Water Surface Pressure Gradient (WSPG) computer model.

GSS-PH’s technical staff of 68 civil designers and drafters has been involved in many land development projects throughout Southern California. These projects include large master plan communities, residential tracts, and commercial projects with ADA requirements. Our technical team is supervised by a design production manager who has 16 years of land development design experience in the Southern California area. Our design production team leaders have gone through an 18-month design training in the U.S., working side by side with our Client’s engineers. During that training period, they have gained invaluable design knowledge and hands-on experience in the field of civil design.

GSS-PH has an office in Colton, California, USA, and two offices in the Tektite Building in Ortigas Center, Metro Manila, where the Philippines Stock Exchange is also located. GSS-PH has a total of 68 computer work stations, 4 HP plotters, 2 scanners, 2 printers, and a PolyCom video teleconferencing equipment with a broadband connection comparable to a to a T-1.
