By Project Progress

Meridian is providing surveying, mapping, right-of-way design, and easements throughout the entirety of Big Cottonwood Canyon SR 190 from the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon up to and including the Brighton Loop and Guardsman’s Pass. Our deliverables include Base Mapping of existing pavement and boundary evidence to develop ROW Plan Sheets that were certified for UDOT’s inventory system and can be used for future ROW design reference. Project management requires heavy coordination with US Forest Service, FHWA, and UDOT. The status of the project is about 45% complete.

School of Music Building Construction is finishing nicely.   

By Project Progress

The New School of Music on the Provo Campus includes four levels of space for academics, practice, recitals, and 1000 seat vineyard-style concert hall with optimal acoustics and lines of site. The building will be the new home for approximately 450 music majors to expand the production of their art.

 

Meridian Engineering, participated as part of the architectural engineering design team led by HKS Architects for the civil, site, and utility design, tunnel expansion, plaza, and outdoor seating areas, accessibility, site grading, and drainage, erosion control plans, utility connection plans, site circulation, drop off areas and parking, and stormwater on-site collection systems. In addition, Meridian’s survey crews provided site staking layout for the building and site construction. Currently, the facility is under construction by Big-D and is slated to be complete winter semester 2023.

Construction and staking for the new UCCU branch office in the growing city of Vineyard, Utah now complete. Yeah!

By Completed Project

Meridian recently performed the construction layout of the site including hardscapes and utilities for Utah Community Credit Union (UCCU) Branch at Vineyard off 622 North Mill Road.  This building designed by WPA Architecture will serve as an easy-access financial institution for members and employees to use with its convenient drive-through banking services.ng as part of the architectural engineering design team lead by Naylor Wentworth and Lund Architects worked together to collaborate a dynamic, tech-friendly, two-story educational facility constructed by Hughes Construction.

 

Construction surveying is an important part of the construction process. The layout of this project included rough grade staking, curb and gutter, utilities, and building layout. Meridian provided Warner & Associates Construction staking reports for each item staked during the course of the project in order to provide a smooth build for the Owner.
