NRCS Projects

Nelson Engineering has served the Natural Resources Conservation Service as a technical service provider in both Wyoming and Idaho. Our experience in water resources and irrigation engineering were utilized by the NRCS and its cooperating landowners in a wide variety of water resources related projects.

Projects in Wyoming and Idaho consisted of:

Large canal structures including diversion checks, headgates, flumes, and drop structures,
Pipeline improvements including ditch-to-pipeline conversions and drainage crossings,
Pipeline inlet and outlet structures,
Creation of storage and regulating reservoirs,
Spring development,
Cattle watering facilities,
Wetland creation and mitigation for impacted wetlands,
Pumping systems for pivots.

These projects consisted of preliminary design, topographic surveys, geotechnical investigations, permitting, construction oversight, record drawings, and certification. All projects were completed in close consultation with and approval from Irrigation District members. Our experience in irrigation and water resources engineering ensured our work was technically sound, easily maintainable, and designed for long-term service.
