Dixie National Forest District Office

Watson Engineering provided civil design, construction staking, and land surveying for the new Dixie National Forest District Office. The site design for this project was somewhat difficult due to the site’s natural topography which presented challenges in determining the building placement. Challenges included achieving proper site grading within restricted/confined locations at the property lines and other physical features. To address these challenges, Watson designed retaining walls for the site and worked with designers to make other accommodations, and in some areas, more retaining walls and vertical features (steeper slopes on sidewalks in certain areas) were necessary. The design provided as much parking as possible which had to minimize slope grades for ADA compatibility.
