Bluffdale Independence Well
The City of Bluffdale revamped an old irrigation well and built a new well house to match the newly constructed apartments surrounding it. The project included a temporary pumping setup and a temporary water right to immediately being operating until permanent arrangements could be made.
Saratoga Springs Irrigation Pond and Pump Station
In order for Saratoga Springs, Utah, to continue to grow at its current rate, additional storage was needed in its pressurized irrigation system. HAL provided design and construction management services for a 17-acre-foot concrete-lined storage pond and a 3,200 gallon-per-minute pump station.
Saratoga Springs Marina Pump Station
HAL planned, designed, and oversaw construction of a 10,000 gpm irrigation pump station adjacent to Utah Lake. The new project provides water to the City’s growing southern area and allows the City to utilize Utah Lake water rights rather than canals.
Water Rights Support
For over 40 years HAL has provided water rights engineering support to municipalities, private clients, and over 20 legal firms in Utah and Idaho. Services have included due diligence and site investigations supporting land purchases, surface and groundwater studies, water use evaluations, water right ownership evaluations, new filings, diligence claims, change applications, proof of appropriation, proof of beneficial use, and water right hearing support.
Jordan River Diversion Structure
HAL prepared designs and specifications for the Jordan River Diversion Structure Replacement. The structure, located on Utah’s Jordan River just north of 2100 South in Salt Lake City, diverts a portion of the Surplus Canal flow into the Jordan River to meet downstream irrigation requirements and control flood flows. The project features two motor-driven 10′ × 14′ radial gates, energy dissipation blocks within the gate, precast 10′ × 5′ box culverts, and downstream erosion protection.
Cache Water Restoration Project
HAL was part of a multi-firm team that designed this $18 million project in Cache County, Utah. It enclosed several canals using precast concrete box culvert, cast-in-place concrete box culvert, reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), PVC pipe, and HDPE pipe. The project also included a new diversion structure on the Logan River with fish screens and an automatic brush cleaning system. The project was designed, constructed, and opened in just over one year. In 2013 it was named “Outstanding Municipal/Utility Project” by Utah Construction & Design.
Peoples Canal Piping Project
HAL planned, designed, and provided construction engineering services for the Peoples Canal Piping Project in Daggett County, Utah. The project enclosed the existing canal with nearly 8 miles of HDPE pipe with diameters ranging from 24 to 48 inches. The project met of all of its goals—including completion before the irrigation season—and has conserved water, reduced operating costs, and improved reliability. The project won an Engineering Excellence Merit Award from ACEC Utah.
