Stonebridge Farms, Phase 1A: Residential Subdivision Infrastructure in Minot, ND.
Full civil utility design for a large residential subdivision in Minot, North Dakota, including water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, and grading for a phased rollout aligned with city master planning.
The Challenge
Stonebridge Farms Phase 1A was part of a large-scale residential development in Minot, ND, requiring the design and construction of new municipal infrastructure to serve future single-family homes. The scope included water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer improvements across a large, undeveloped site.
The project needed to be phased effectively, meet city and state standards, and integrate with future expansion areas.
Civil Engineering Scope and Contributions
Designed and coordinated water distribution, sanitary sewer collection, and storm sewer systems to serve the new subdivision. This included modeling and layout of mainlines, manholes, service stubs, and storm inlets based on city standards and capacity requirements.
Provided grading guidance to ensure proper stormwater conveyance and minimize the need for future rework during subsequent phases. Drainage patterns were integrated with street design and storm sewer infrastructure.
Worked closely with the City of Minot engineering department, utility companies, and internal design teams to ensure alignment with master planning efforts and future development phases.
Civil plans were structured for efficient phased construction, minimizing disruption and allowing the city to bring lots online incrementally as demand grew.
Produced clear, detailed construction plans and coordinated review and approvals with city engineers. The project also included support during bidding and construction.
The Outcome
Civil design enabled installation of essential utilities and streets to support residential development.
Layouts and capacities were developed to support ongoing expansion with minimal redesign.
The project was fully reviewed and approved by the City of Minot, aligning with long-term infrastructure planning.
