    • Company History


    Davis Engineering Service (DES) was established in Del Norte, Colorado in 1948 by Paul B. Davis, P.E./P.L.S., a 1939 graduate of the Colorado School of Mines. Initially, the firm was engaged in land and mine surveying and water filings. Since that time, the firm has steadily increased its scope of engineering and surveying services to accommodate and facilitate the needs of our diverse clientele. DES was incorporated in 1967, and in 1997 moved the Del Norte staff to the current corporate office in Alamosa, Colorado and in 1986 a branch office was opened in Pagosa Springs, Colorado.
