Harbor Point Elementary construction complete for the growing city of Saratoga Springs, Utah

By Completed Project

Located at 4189 East Schooner Drive, Saratoga Springs, the new elementary was placed on an undeveloped site with a grand view of Utah Lake to the east. As part of the architectural engineering design team for Alpine School District lead by VCBO Architecture, Meridian Engineering provided the survey, civil site layout, utility plans, drainage, grading, and subdivision plats for collaboration of a beautiful, tech-friendly, two-story educational facility.

Our role began with design grade surveying, boundary analysis, amended subdivision platting. Civil design included site grading and drainage plans for two parking lots, bus and parent drop of zones, and two new play fields.  In addition, Meridian provided site utility design for all new sewer, water, and storm drain connections. To provide access to the school, Meridian designed two new roadways, Captain Street and Schooner Drive, as well as the widening of Redwood Road for a left turn lane. The roads were included in accordance with city standards and a traffic study as part of the design. The new school was constructed by Hogan Construction and opened August 2021.

Meridian goes to Hawai’i… the Big Island.

By Events

While visiting the island to perform service for a recent project, Meridian’s Brian Boehmer, stumbled upon a United States Geological Survey (USGS) marker while viewing the eruption at the overlook to the Kilauea Volcano on the Island of Hawai’i.  At present, Kilauea volcano is still having one of the most long-lived eruptions known on earth, which started in 1983. Even now, lava continues to erupt from a single vent in the western wall of Halemaʻumaʻu crater. All lava activity is confined within Halemaʻumaʻu crater in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park – known as an Orange Watch magma alert. We are glad Brian made it back to the office unscathed or scorched.
