We know water!  Franson Civil Engineers is a TEAM of professionals dedicated to providing the highest level of engineering expertise in the industry while providing the best service to our clients.

The firm’s entire focus is on water resources engineering. As such, we have developed specialized capabilities rivaled by only the largest firms, while affording us the opportunity to provide a quality of service rarely found in this industry.

One of our strengths is our ability to work collaboratively with all those involved in a project. This includes not only the client but permitting agencies, funding partners, and other affected parties.

Our engineers and senior staff have spent their entire careers working with water resource development including water-related structures, stormwater control, utility design, and have extensive experience in planning, design, preparing environmental documents, working with funding, construction management, and operation and management of water-related projects. This combination of experience gives us the ability to “think outside of the box” to provide creative and effective solutions to our clients.

Franson Civil Engineers is a national award-winning firm. Our experience with innovative solutions, the attention we give to our clients needs, our team building solutions, along with our quality control activities, has assisted our firm in receiving many prestigious awards. For example, the Rehabilitation of Piute Dam, which was the most difficult and expensive project undertaken so far under the State of Utah’s dam safety program, was named as the National Rehabilitation Project of the Year in 2005 from the Association of State Dam Safety Officials. For another example, the West Side Combined Canals Salinity Project, which consisted of replacing approximately 46 miles of seven irrigation canals with one pressurized irrigation delivery system, was recently awarded the 2009 Engineering Excellence Grand Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies of Utah.

We recognize that water is the lifeblood of the West. Our mission is to ensure the wise use of water by providing quality engineering services to those who have stewardship to develop, manage, and conserve this precious resource. Our vision is to be the best water resources engineering firm in the State of Utah.
