NorthStar Engineering

We're highlighting one of our past projects, the Enloe Gonzales Comprehensive Cancer Center.

NorthStar had the opportunity to work alongside HGA Architects and Engineers, Enloe Health, and Swinerton Construction on this state-of-the-art facility in Meriam Park. Our team provided engineering and surveying services including site design, grading, utility layout, construction administration, survey staking, and more.

What began as a vision in 2023 is now nearing completion, with the Cancer Center expected to open later this year. Designed to bring cancer care services together in one location, the facility will help serve patients and families throughout our region for years to come.

We're grateful to have played a role in a project that will have such a meaningful impact on our community.

NorthStar had a great time attending the 4th Annual Durham Baseball Golf Tournament at Bailey Creek Golf Course last Saturday.

We were also glad to further support Durham Baseball by sponsoring a hole during the tournament. It was a fun day spent with community members, supporters, and alumni all coming together to support Durham's baseball community.

NorthStar had a great time attending and being one of the sponsors for this year’s gala.

The evening brought together students, staff, alumni, and community members in support of programs that continue to create opportunities for students and their future.

A great weekend spent building alongside our community. NorthStar was glad to be part of this year’s Women Build event with Habitat for Humanity of Butte County.

NorthStar joined others in the community for a hands-on day of building and giving back. Women Build brings people together to help create strength, stability, and safe places to call home for families in our region.

Thank you to everyone who made this event possible.

Community is important to us at NorthStar, and we’re grateful to have recently supported two great local events in April.

Earlier this month, we sponsored Chico Brewfest at Patrick Ranch, an event that raises funds for local charities supporting veterans and the prevention of child abuse in Butte County.

We also supported the Growing Great Futures Farm to Fork Dinner benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of the North Valley. The event helps fund their summer programs with provide local youth with mentorship, meals, educational opportunities, and a safe place to grow.

We appreciate the organizations, volunteers, and community members who make events like these possible. It’s always meaningful to support efforts that strengthen the place we call home.

This week, NorthStar’s survey team is out in the field completing a detailed survey of a regional water reservoir in the North State.

Our engineering group requested comprehensive information on the existing water pipe network, and there’s no better tool for that job than our NavVis VLX 3.

Featured here is PLS Tim Alldrin operating the VLX, navigating steep elevation changes and working through a complex pipe system. The VLX’s mobile mapping capabilities let us document every bend, grade break, and connection with precision, giving our engineering team the confidence they need for upcoming design work.

NorthStar is excited to be able to assist the City of Corning in obtaining grant funding, facilitating the design and now helping with the construction for the new City Plaza and Recreation Center. This has been a 7-year process that will transform 1 city block in downtown Corning.

Last week our surveyors were working in the northern Sierra Nevada mountains, near Fall River, on a large boundary project. Pictured is our Party Chief Ron Young locating a Public Land Survey System stone monument.

Stone monuments are some of the earliest and most legally powerful physical markers in any retracement survey.
