Recent larger projects:
Tahoe Vista Recreation Area
Phase 1 Project
Tieslau Civil Engineering was the lead consultant of a 5 consultant design team tasked with overall project design for the North Tahoe Public Utility District.
Project Description:
Tahoe Vista Recreation Area (TVRA) is a community and regional recreational facility located in Tahoe Vista. It consists of a 2.7 acre lakeshore parcel with approximately 800 feet of lakeshore frontage and an approximate 3.6 acre support parcel at the intersection of Hwy 28 and National Avenue. The lakeside portion of the project was opened to the public in July 2006. Lakeside amenities included launch ramp improvements, opening vistas of Lake Tahoe, public beach access, picnic areas, modern restrooms, bike racks, day use kayak racks, open public plaza space, improved boat launching and traffic circulation, interpretive displays, and storm water treatment.
Phase 1 efforts were recognized by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA), 2006 Best in the Basin Award for an Improved Recreation and Lake Access Project.
Dredging was completed in April 2010 and the Courtesy Docks in the harbor were installed in Spring 2011. To date a total of $5.94 Million has been spent on land acquisition and $4.2 Million on Planning, Environmental Documents and construction of the Lakeside parcel.
Tahoe Vista Recreation Area
Phase 2 Project
Tieslau Civil Engineering was the lead consultant of a 5 firm design team tasked with the second phase of the TVRA project in 2006 for the North Tahoe Public Utility District. Funding was finally secured in 2011 and construction was completed in 2012. The project was nominated for TRPA’s Best in the Basin award for 2012.
The Tahoe Vista Recreation Area Accessory Parking Project constructed a parking lot for boating vehicles, trailers and automobiles for visitors to the Tahoe Vista Recreation Area. This project provided 24 vehicle with trailer pull through spaces and 42 vehicle spaces, 1250 linear feet of paved walking/bike trail, a bus pullout and shelter, landscaping and storm water BMP’s. The 3.5 acre site was acquired by the NTPUD with funds from the California Tahoe Conservancy specifically for parking.
The project was 100% funded by grants of $1.432 million from the Department of Boating and Waterway, $500,000 from the North Lake Tahoe Resort Association and $500,000 from the Placer County Redevelopment Agency.
Carnelian Bay West Watermain Replacement Project
Tieslau Civil Engineering was the lead consultant of a 4 firm design team tasked with overall project design in 2008 for the North Tahoe Public Utility District. Construction was completed in 2010.
The Carnelian Bay West Watermain Replacement Project involved the design and construction of nearly 5000 linear of new 8” watermain and 7 new fire hydrants. The existing subdivision was served by aging 2-3” watermains and no fire hydrants. This project provided reliable domestic water and critical fire protection for this subdivision. Design challenges included water system design in an area of unimproved roads and existing tree conflicts.
The project was 100% funded by grants through the federal government.
