Utah Army National Guard’s 19th Special Forces Facility
Utah Army National Guard’s 19th Special Forces Facility
This facility was built for the Utah Army National Guard’s 19th Special Forces. This project consists of approximately 20+ acres and over 80 feet of vertical drop from one side of the property to the other. Creative design techniques for grading and drainage were used to help maximize the usability of this property in order to provide the required 140,123 square feet building and other necessary improvements to be placed on this site in an effective way while allowing for safety, security and sustainability with low impact on the property.
Seasons on Skyline
Seasons on Skyline
The Seasons on Skyline residential project covers roughly 10.4 acres in South Ogden, Utah. This project included seven apartment buildings, forty townhomes, a club house, and several amenities. There is roughly 12’ of fall from east to west and south to north. One of the challenges with this project was designing the storm water system and infrastructure while connecting the finish grade into the existing grade around the property. Due to high elevation of the existing storm drain inlet box to the west, it was not possible to drain all of the storm water into the existing infrastructure via gravity. The northern portion of the property was designed to retain the storm water below ground with sumps that percolate the water back into the ground. Pickle ball courts we constructed in the bottom of the largest retention pond as an economic decision to utilize the landscaping to it fullest potential.
World’s Largest Tunnel Carwash
World’s Largest Tunnel Carwash
This project is the world’s longest tunnel carwash. The original design had to be squeezed to fit with the addition of a right-turn lane that was required by UDOT. Due to this reduction in length and the grades required for the carwash, retaining walls were required on both ends of the carwash. This created a challenge with capturing all the site storm water with the same highwater mark for all ponds. The original site had silty clay soil with some areas of non-engineered silty clay fills. Due to this the minimal infiltration protentional, the detention has limited ability to recharge the ground water requiring a system that could contain all of the required storm water. Both above ground and below ground stormwater detention were used to contain the water with a tiered release system.
Wild Goose Estates
Wild Goose Estates
This is a single family residential 7 lot subdivision in Sandy, Utah. The project was a low impact development (LID) project with a private street and storm drainage system that minimizes the impact of storm drain into the public system. The private road sloped to the west, which allowed the storm water to drain into a swale and percolate into the soil or be detained in a storm water detention pond at the southwest corner of the property.

The original design had 3 additional phases plan but Phase 6 has changed to an assisted living building that will have 103 living spaces. The project is located on 6.5 acres and the living area for the previously built buildings is 36,515 square feet (ground floor only) and for the new assisted living facility is 52,930 square feet (ground floor only).
Since this has been a long term project there is no cost per unit. The current price for the condos ranges between $165,000 and $205,000. There is no cost estimate on the assisted living project as it is still under development.
