Rubicon
Construction for this 10-lot residential subdivision project was completed in the fall of 2010. Compass Engineering provided professional planning, surveying and civil engineering services consisting of topographic mapping, construction drawings, and survey plat. This project was within the jurisdiction of the City of Portland and required design approval from the Bureau of Environmental Services, Portland Bureau of Transportation, Water bureau, and Multnomah County. The design consisted of public and private street design, water quality, storm drainage and detention, and grading and erosion control.

Main Street
This project involved extensive survey work in 2010 along Oregon City’s historic Main Street District from 5th to 15th street for the reconstruction and upgrading of sidewalks and street lighting. The project was later expanded to include mapping of existing street utilities for the design of future storm drainage and waterline improvements. The project included extensive research related to the establishment of existing right of way lines and property lines along the project corridor as well as detailed mapping of all storefront features throughout the length of the project. Funded, in part, through the American Recovery and Restoration Act, the project was required to be completed in a relatively short period of time with the survey work permitted only during non-business hours. Due to the short time frame, restricted hours of operation and the exacting data capture requirements, a variety of state of the art survey technologies were employed by the field crews to complete the surveying tasks on this project.

Stafford/Borland Roundabout
Construction on this multi-lane roundabout in Clackamas County began in the Spring of 2008 and was completed almost a full year ahead of schedule, while keeping the intersection open to traffic. Compass Engineering provided construction staking for a number of features of this project including paving, curb and gutter, storm sewer lines and detention ponds, fencing and a post-construction record of survey.

The Summerlinn Center
This commercial project was completed in 2005. Compass Engineering provided professional engineering and surveying services for the site utilities and tiered parking for the new commercial building. The site topography required innovative design to meet the City of West Linn’s requirements for storm water detention/water quality treatment and parking.
Location: West Linn, Oregon
Jackson Hills Subdivision
This multi-phase subdivision project began the land use planning process with the City of Happy Valley in 2003.
