Our projects in "Civil Engineering" category
Garden Lofts – Salt Lake City, Utah
FOCUS worked closely with various departments to complete Garden Lofts, a 272-unit apartment building located in downtown Salt Lake City.
Union Peaks – Sandy, Utah
The FOCUS structural team was tasked with engineering
a strong, safe, and attractive building, while providing value engineering without compromising on quality.
Parkview Cottages – Lehi, Utah
Parkview Cottages is a high-density, single-family cottage-style community. This project comprises 66 single-family units on 9.31 acres in Lehi, Utah. FOCUS’s civil engineering, landscape planning, and surveying team worked hand in hand with Ivory Development to complete this job.
The Point at Saratoga Springs – Saratoga Springs, Utah
The Farmstead Apartments in Nampa, Idaho consists of 7 buildings, 120 units and covers 5.5 acres. FOCUS engineers worked closely with Ramsey Construction to address the complications associated with the sites high groundwater. This groundwater interfered with the construction of the buildings seepage beds. Working closely with the client a solution was developed that raised the site minimally and used low profile seepage beds. This strategy addressed the groundwater issue and avoided expensive earthworks costs.

Hidden Oaks- Herriman, Utah
Hidden Oaks is a master planned community adjacent to Butterfield Canyon comprised of 823 homes. FOCUS was involved with the master planning, which included the realignment of Butterfield Creek, and has done design work on all phases of the project.
The site includes a small valley with steep slopes on both ends of the valley where it connects with other parts of the development. This topography posed design challenges with storm drain and earthworks. FOCUS engineers teamed up with outside water resource engineers to model the creek realignment, which enabled them to provide a storm drain design that didn’t require extensive earthworks costs.
Latitude 42 Apartments – Twin Falls, ID
Latitude 42 is an apartment complex with seven, three-story buildings comprising a total of 130 units and a clubhouse. It also features a playground, pickleball court, and a dog park.
The complex’s extensive footprint posed a challenge in meeting the city’s water retention requirements. The civil engineering team considered various options to address the challenge, including using a StormTech drainage system. However, after consulting with the client, it was determined that a seepage pit would provide the best solution.
Diamond Peak Townhomes – Nampa, ID
The Diamond Peak townhome community is comprised of 16 three-story, 2,165-square-foot units. The site’s dimensions and location required multiple retaining walls and made the design of the sewer system challenging.
Retaining walls had to be designed to be effective, yet narrow enough to allow sufficient distance between the walls and the buildings for adequate yard space. The site’s sewer system, while designed by FOCUS engineers, will be built as part of the neighboring site due to the systems location. This required coordination between FOCUS, Diamond Peak, and the neighboring site to ensure the system was designed and built properly to meet all parties’ requirements.
Belltower Office – Meridian, Idaho
The Belltower Office is a commercial 4 acre site in Meridian, Idaho. The parcel selected by FSONE Development is located within a quiet safe community with residential adjacency. A portion of the west side of the property has an existing trail and corridor planting which creates great curb appeal and pedestrian access to the development along Ten Mile Road. This was a project where a great amount of accuracy and attention to detail was needed as this will be the location of FSONE Developments new office. This is a mixed office / medical building. While working with the City of Meridian on the project, the parking requirements were very minimal. FOCUS through the direction of the client maximized on the greatest density of parking we could fit on site to help with the anticipation of many guests visiting the site for the services provided within the building. Around the building open space a seating area with picnic tables surrounded by a large suave of planting was provided to create a private place for the tenants to enjoy lunch or discuss business outdoors. A mixture of decorative river rock and planting with various textures were provided in the theme of the exterior spaces. The location of the site is one mile and in close proximity to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway, providing easy access from the main interstate in Meridian.
