Crane & Merseth Engineering/Surveying

Examples of Civil Engineering projects successfully completed by CaMES include:
 

Eton Lane Sanitary Sewer

CaMES provided a design for replacement of an existing local sanitary sewer which was privately constructed by neighbors and was deteriorating rapidly.  The project site was complicated by dense housing, shallow rock, a number of large, mature trees in the vicinity and a lack of public right-of-way.  In addition to the engineering design the project included geotechnical reconnaissance and evaluation, involvement of a right-of-way acquisition firm, and an arborist.

Public involvement was done through a meeting with local project neighbors and frequent contact throughout the design phase of the project. 

Mill Creek Force Main:

CaMES performed the engineering and surveying work for a 3-mile-long, 24-inch-diameter force main for the City of Woodburn, Oregon. The force main will parallel and interconnect with an existing 18-inch-diameter line to add system capacity. The addition expands system flow rate capacity from its current 8 million gallons per day (mgd) to an interim 16 mgd and, ultimately, to 25 mgd when new pumps are added to the Mill Creek pump station. CaMES is providing a full range of services, including preliminary design (route selection, sizing, hydraulic analysis), design and construction surveying, easement descriptions, permitting, subsurface explorations, detailed final design, bidding and contract award services, and engineering services during construction.

Rock, Richardson and Deep Creek Basin Study

Sanitary Sewer Study for CIP Projects

CaMES prepared a Master Plan and Technical Options study for Clackamas County Water Environment Services (WES) where a multitude of sanitary sewer options were identified and described.  The study area covered the Rock Creek (6278 acres), Richardson Creek (2710 acres), and Deep Creek (9000 acres) basins of the Clackamas River.  These three contiguous basins are located immediately east of Happy Valley and have been designated by METRO as Urban Area Reserves.  At present, about 12,000 people live in the study area.

An in-depth analysis of costs was prepared where development of traditional gravity sewers including all necessary pump stations in currently protected creek corridors were compared with development of a similar, gravity and pump station system with main lines held outside the corridors resulting in parallel systems.
