PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT (TOD)

Clearfield Transit Oriented Development (TOD), Clearfield, UT

Our team provided civil engineering (transit, active transportation, roadway, and signal design elements) for a transit-oriented development (TOD) in Clearfield with tight time constraints to meet the construction schedule. The site encompasses 56-acres and is expected to include new residential units, 600,000-sq-ft of office space, and 67,000-sq-ft commercial space and includes tie-ins with a UTA FrontRunner Station.

By coordinating with UDOT, UTA, Rocky Mountain Power, and other utility stakeholders early in the project, risks were mitigated that could delay the schedule. The project included existing conditions and topographic survey, state route (UDOT) and local city signal design, and design for extensive on-site and off-site third-party utility facilities. The design drawings incorporated two UDOT traffic signals, deceleration lanes with new curb and gutter, and adjusted park strip widths.

North Farmington Business Park, Farmington, UT

Farmington City continues to experience rapid growth west of I-15, accelerating several developers’ interest in 261-acres near Cabela’s from Park Lane to Shepard Lane. The heightened interest in developing, combined with the increased need for transportation, meant that this project needed to address the complex infrastructure needs of sewer, water, and roadway systems. The project also required drainage easements, right-of-way, utility relocations, and UDOT coordination. It was innovative in its use of phases to move the project forward while allowing for the design and development of wetlands for on-site mitigation.

Our team identified options to avoid mitigation requirements for Phase 1 and allow for
the fastest possible completion of this phase. While accommodating city and federal funding, with different timeframes for construction. We developed solutions for potential stormwater impacts, roadway alignments, property disruptions, and traffic changes.
