Hidden River Ranch Subdivision is an upscale residential subdivision encompassing 176 acres with a minimum 2 acres per lot size. The project lies in an exceptional scenic area, overlooking the Colorado River and looking upward to the majestic reddish sandstone rocks of the Colorado National Monument. The development is accessed by State Highway 340 between the City of Grand Junction and westward to the City of Fruita. Engineering design of this project was very challenging due to many physical constraints, such as topography, geologic hazards, drainage hazards, expansive soils, and floodplains.

Design services include a Site Plan, Grading and Drainage Plan, Road Plan and Profile Designs, Utility Plans, Irrigation Design, Stormwater Management Plan, and a Floodplain Study. This project required coordination with the Mesa County Planning and Economic Department, Colorado Geological Survey, the Colorado Department of Transportation, and local utilities.

Red Tail Ridge Subdivision consists of two filings; the first filing entailed 40 lots and the second filing consisted of 53 lots. Minimum lot size is 8,000 square feet. This site lies in the Orchard Mesa area of southern Grand Junction. This site has undulating topography and variable soil types creating interesting challenges in the design.

This project has multiple detention basins to accommodate both onsite and offsite drainage; design of the detention facilities also considered breach analysis of the Orchard Mesa Irrigation District’s canal, should canal breaching occur.

Saddlerock Subdivision is a 61 lot single-family subdivision in the northeastern portion of the Grand Valley. The subdivision was designed and constructed in a single phase with three accesses to the development.

Project design plans included a site plan, utility plan, grading and drainage plan, street designs, sewer plans and profiles, and irrigation plan.

This project incorporated a regional detention facility in the southern part of the subdivision as a major offsite drainage flows along the eastern boundary of the site.
