The Rise- South Jordan, Utah
FOCUS provided site civil, survey, structural, and staking services for The Rise, addressing terrain challenges by implementing creative grading and drainage solutions.
Our projects in "Construction Staking" category
Big Willow Creek Estates – Draper, Utah
FOCUS developed a versatile design for Big Willow Estates, addressing utility challenges, grading, zoning, and safety, while coordinating access and permissions to meet developer goals.
The Ridge – North Salt Lake, Utah
The Ridge features 50 townhomes and 144 single-family homes spread across a 49-acre site with steep slopes and challenging features.
Vistas at Summit Ridge – Santaquin, Utah
FOCUS designed five base plans for The Vistas at Summit Ridge, including three modifications and two new designs, while meeting HOA standards and incorporating client feedback.
Ridgepoint Mixed-Use Community – South Jordan, Utah
FOCUS provided design coordination, stakeholder management, and permit approvals for the Ridgepoint Mixed-Use Community.
9000 S Roadway Extension -West Jordan, Utah
FOCUS delivered key transportation design services for the 9000 South extension, ensuring UDOT compliance and effective stakeholder coordination.
Gogo Squeez – Nampa, Idaho
Gogo Squeez involved a 186,000-square-foot expansion of a food processing facility, where FOCUS was responsible for staking out approximately 2,500 geo piers to ensure ground stability.
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.
Frito Lay Distribution Center- West Valley, Utah
Frito-Lay has a large distribution center in West Valley City, Utah that required several improvements and expansions. FOCUS construction staking crews laid out the site’s expansions which included new building corners, bolt patterns, storage silos, and a parking lot.
When the field crew arrived to stake out the bolt patterns the site’s concrete had not yet cured. As uncured concrete can change the locations of the bolts, FOCUS was tasked with monitoring the concrete for possible changes. The FOCUS crew set up an exterior control using a Tribrach and prism that could be rotated to verify that tolerances were being maintained.
Union Pacific Depot- Salt Lake City, Utah
The Union Pacific Depot is more than a hundred years old. Its age and the methods by which it was constructed pose settlement challenges, and variation in the construction materials used resulted in different settlement and compression behaviors.
FOCUS was tasked with monitoring the building’s settlement and, to do so, placed 22 wall stations, each with three different vertical stations, and eight independent floor stations throughout the building. The stations are then relayed to a network of six reference stations mounted to stable structures and utilities. Measurements from wall and floor stations are taken in relation to the reference stations to detect minute movements in the structure. This process requires extreme attention to detail to ensure that the measurements are accurate and consistent. FOCUS’s skill at this process made it possible to detect unique behavior in the building that could not have been precisely quantified otherwise.
