We've crossed the finish line! 🚌🚶♀️🚴 On Tuesday, members of the SGM team celebrated the Grand Opening of the 27th Street underpass in Glenwood Springs. This project holds special meaning to us as it greatly enhances safety and mobility for our community. SGM worked with RFTA, the City of Glenwood Springs, and CDOT to develop a design that met the needs of motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users. SGM provided project management, surveying and ROW, Subsurface Utility Engineering, underpass and retaining wall design, and sidewalk/trail design. ➡️ Read more about the grand opening here: https://lnkd.in/gfdwnkFX Pictured left to right: Matt Webster Jennifer Flentge Jevon Poston, P.E.

Meet Tyler Harpel, a Colorado native who has built his engineering career right here at SGM over the past 18 years. Reflecting on his journey, Tyler shares his passion for wastewater projects and his dedication to helping small communities improve their wastewater treatment systems:   “It’s super important to the health and environment of our communities and our streams and our surroundings. And making sure people in our communities have good wastewater treatment is something I value.” #engineering #civilengineering #wastewater #community https://lnkd.in/g7A6DH7h

Nice work, Eagle County👏! Eagle County is moving forward with a cutting-edge “geoexchange” heating and cooling system for the county administration building. This will replace the existing system in the nearly 30-year-old facility. SGM is proud to be part of the design team alongside our subconsultants, Major Geothermal, PanTerra, and Ron Slade. Together, we’re excited to help the County implement geothermal upgrades across several buildings, starting with the county administration building.
