PROJECTS

Projects:
Brian Head:
Bingham Engineering has
provided municipal engineering services for Brian
Head Town,
a rapidly growing mountain resort community located in Southern
Utah. Together, Brian Head
Town and Bingham Engineering have constructed 2 new culinary water tanks and
drilled new culinary wells, completed a water resource development project and
developed a source protection plan for existing springs and wells. We have also constructed new roads and
rebuilt old roads, resolved controversial water rights issues, extended water
and sewer services and built new pedestrian and biking trails. A new land use master plan was completed
which developed a core area concept and design guidelines for new
development. In addition, several new
subdivisions were developed, legal descriptions and easements created, existing
ordinances revised, a town maintenance facility constructed and wetland issues
resolved. Several of the projects have
included state-assisted funding and all projects have required interaction and
coordination with the elected and appointed officials.
Grantsville City:
Bingham Engineering has
provided water, sewage and land use master planning for Grantsville City
for several years. As a part of the
water master plan Bingham Engineering designed and constructed a
1,000,000-gallon reinforced concrete culinary water storage reservoir,
including transmission and distribution system improvements. The scope of work included computer modeling
of the existing system, evaluation of existing water sources, and review of the
city master land use plan. Bingham was
also responsible for recommending future pressure zones, tank, well and
pipeline design, and prioritizing a systematic replacement of all sub-standard
lines within the city. Improvements
included new distribution piping, multiple pressure reducing stations, booster
pump station, refitting an existing culinary well, drilling and equipping a new
culinary well, construction of a new 1,000,000 gallon tank and comprehensive
construction management. A radio-based
SCADA system was also designed and configured to integrate control and
monitoring functions for the culinary water and waste water treatment
systems. In addition to the
improvements, Bingham Engineering provided site survey for the tank location,
prepared the deed and all necessary easements, assisted Grantsville in obtaining
financing, and conducted a geotechnical investigation for the project.
Riverton Secondary Water System:
Riverton City desired to implement a
secondary water system to utilize irrigation waters that historically irrigated
much of the land in Riverton. The
secondary water system was also seen as a tool to maximize the culinary water
system, and to preserve water resources for future growth and development. Bingham Engineering was part of the Newman
Design-Build Team that was awarded the contract for the secondary system. The Newman team was selected because of the
innovative approach and engineering solutions they proposed. The Newman team and Riverton City
was awarded the Governor’s Medal of Science and Technology because of the
innovative approach to the project and the affect it will have on water
conservation. Bingham Engineering was
responsible to design two holding ponds (combined storage of 100 acre-feet),
four pump stations and development of three wells. Bingham Engineering
suggested a ‘horizontal
well’ near the Jordan River, which resulted in
a well capable of producing four-times as much water as the vertical wells in
the same area. This project began
delivering water in the summer of 2000, and the entire system was completed in
2001.
