SITE DEVELOPMENT
Complete civil engineering and surveying
services are available for individual sites, subdivisions, and
commercial/industrial developments. Services provided during the
application/review process phase include boundary and topographic
surveys, plats, drainage and floodplain studies, traffic studies,
State highway access permit applications, site grading and erosion
control plans, street and utility designs, water and wastewater
treatment, and utility coordination. High Country Engineering's
established working relationships with the local governmental
agencies can be instrumental for developers in gaining project
approval. During the construction phase, available services
include: contract administration, construction staking,
construction inspection and quality control.
STREETS AND HIGHWAYS
Services include planning and design for urban streets, rural and
mountain roads, and parking areas. HCE personnel are familiar with
the geological and climatological conditions such as soil and
slope stability, subsurface drainage, icing, etc., which impact
road design. Our specialized expertise in the drainage field is
invaluable in street and road design because proper drainage is a
vital part of a properly designed street or highway system. HCE
uses the Mitron Transportation System for traffic classification,
speed and volume analysis of traffic.
DRAINAGE CONTROL &
FLOODPLAIN ANALYSIS
Services include hydrologic analysis (specific to the geographic
area of the project), master drainage planning for existing
communities and new subdivisions, debris flow studies, floodplain
analysis, design
and preparation of plans and specification for
drainage improvement, and field review during the construction
period. HCE personnel are specialists in the fields of hydrology,
hydraulics and drainage design.
WATER &
WASTEWATER FACILITIES
Services include planning and design of distribution or collection
systems, as well as small treatment facilities. HCE personnel are
experienced in providing these services for individual residences,
industries, municipalities and special districts.
MUNICIPAL ENGINEERING
Consulting engineering services are available to municipalities
for special projects or studies and when a consultant may be
needed to supplement the municipality's existing staff. HCE also
offers plat review services, which include the checking of plans,
specifications, plats, reports and other documents submitted to
municipalities in order to evaluate their adherence to regulations
and general practicality. Construction observation services are
also provided to monitor the construction of public improvements
for conformance with municipal requirements.
SURVEYING
Surveying is often the basis for design and decision-making. Our
survey personnel are trained and equipped to perform a vast array
of tasks using Global Positioning Systems (GPS) as well as
conventional total stations with data collectors, including:
boundary surveys, improvement surveys, high order GPS control,
improvement location certificates, condominium plats, surface and
aerial topographic surveys, and all types of construction staking.
