On October 11, 2025, Sandy City celebrated the grand opening of its new Fire Station No. 31 with a ribbon cutting, bell ringing, and a community pancake breakfast! This new deluxe, modern, two-level 30,391-square-foot facility located at 239 West off Monroe Street (9270 S.) was designed to serve as a home base for the city’s dedicated firefighters including training classrooms, living quarters for 14, 5 apparatus and ambulance bays, and parking, all for supporting faster response times, enhanced training, and future Sandy City community growth.

In collaboration with ajc architects, Meridian Engineering provided comprehensive site design and civil engineering services including topographic survey, utility extensions, grading and drainage plans, stormwater management, roadway extensions, and construction period services. Every design element was developed to ensure reliable infrastructure and seamless operations for emergency response.

We’re honored to have contributed to a project that supports those who serve and protect our community every day. Congratulations to Sandy City Fire Department and all who made this station a reality!

Meridian Engineering is happy to announce the completion of the fuel station for Canyons School District’s Transportation facilities located at 150 East 9300 South, Sandy, Utah. This project was designed with a focus on efficiency, safety, and long-term reliability to support the district’s transportation operations.

While working closely with CORE Architecture and the Canyons School District, Meridian provided a comprehensive site design that included topographic surveying, demolition of underground tanks, and layout and grading for two new 12,000-gallon above-ground tanks. The design also incorporated fueling lanes to accommodate large vehicles, expand bus stalls and parking, new retention basin, and storm drain and piping improvements. Careful attention to grading, drainage, and erosion control ensured the facility will operate effectively in all conditions.

Beyond design, Meridian provided construction-period services, to maintain conformance with approved plans and specifications. From bid support through site visits and final punch lists, our team ensured the project was delivered with precision and quality to fuel forward employees and bus services transportation infrastructure for the district.

We’re excited to share the completion of the new Utah State Developmental Center (USDC) Comprehensive Medical and Therapies Building—a state-of-the-art, sustainable facility built to support individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This 64,000-square-foot building consolidates a wide range of essential services under one roof, streamlining care for the 155 residents who live on campus. Operated by USDC, this facility is in American Fork at 2895 North 900 East replacing three aged buildings that were demolished.

Designed by Jacoby Architects and constructed by Layton Construction, the facility features spaces for physical, occupational, speech, and autism therapies, a medical clinic, and an ADA-compliant therapy pool. Additionally, a unique gift shop showcases handmade items created by residents, helping connect the community to their creativity.

As part of the design team, Meridian Engineering provided topographic survey and civil engineering for drainage and accessible grading plans, utility plans including water and sewer, and site hydraulic analysis along with design for on-site storm water retention basins, accessible ADA pathways within xeriscape art gardens. Construction period services and storm water pollution prevention plans were also included in the civil design scope.

We’re honored to be part of the design team of a facility that blends accessibility, healing, and sustainability—all while serving a vital population in our state.
