Survey crew chiefs at Meridian love a new adventure especially with great views like these! Recently, Meridian’s survey crew retraced PLSS corners, collected boundary evidence, and analyzed Hanksville’s townsite plat of lots and blocks for this project. Meridian’s team combined technical expertise with the opportunity to work in the area’s exceptional natural beauty for the purpose of preparing a record of survey to file with the Wayne County Recorder.
Meridian’s survey crews recently embarked on an exciting project at the breathtaking Grays Lake National Wildlife Refuge in Bonneville County, Idaho. During initial field visits, our team focused on recovering and verifying boundary corners and monuments including original Public Land Survey System (PLSS) monuments.
The fieldwork provided stunning views and an opportunity to secure unique boundary corners and PLSS monuments. This work plays a vital role in supporting land acquisitions and boundary management for the additional lands secured by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation for wildlife conservation.
Meridian Engineering’s survey teams had the opportunity recently this summer to work at Grand Teton National Park and the scenic landscapes of Elk, Wyoming, where they conducted field investigations for an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey.
While adhering to Wyoming State Code, the team collected boundary evidence for analysis by our Wyoming PLS, surveyed Public Land Survey System (PLSS) monuments, and collected essential base mapping data for future design purposes. Upon project completion, a signed and stamped copy of the survey will be filed with the Teton County Clerk’s office.
While the team didn’t spot any elk during the survey, they did encounter antelope and buffalo, making for a truly splendid field survey experience in Teton County.
Meridian Engineering in collaboration with the NWL Naylor Wentworth Lund Architects design team has successfully completed the civil design for a cutting-edge educational facility. This modern, hybrid school focuses on providing postsecondary programs tailored for students pursuing high-demand technical careers.
Our civil engineering contributions encompassed a range of services, starting with topographic surveying, and extending through detailed site grading and drainage planning. The design also included parking facilities, bus and parent drop-off zones, and ADA accessibility. Additionally, Meridian provided the utility design for new sewer, water, storm drain connections, and detention storage on the Ogden Weber Technical College campus.
The new 84,000 square foot school constructed by Hogan & Associates Construction just had its unveiling marking a significant step forward in technical education offerings for this area.
Exciting progress is being made on the new Eagle Mountain Middle School, located on Belle Street. This Alpine School District project is set to serve grades 7 through 9, catering to the rapidly growing community in Utah. Our team at Meridian Engineering is proud to contribute to several key aspects of the civil design, including site development, utility installation, and traffic flow improvements.
Because of its rural fringe location, the project included design for the widening of the east side of Belle Street (9000 N.) along the school site frontage as well as the new Harmony Way access road. New improvement of curb, gutter and sidewalks for right of way for the roadway widening was coordinated with Alpine School District and the City.
Meridian Engineering worked in collaboration with the VCBO Architecture design team to provide topographic surveying, boundary analysis, subdivision plating, site grading and drainage plans for parking lots, bus and parent drop zones, site walkways, softball field, pickleball courts, track, soccer field and other playfields. In addition, Meridian provided 3 miles of site utility design for all new sewer and water lines offsite. Retention basins for stormwater and storm drain connections were also included. We’re thrilled to see this complex project come to life and look forward to its completion by 2025, under the skilled construction of Westland Construction.
