McNeil Engineering

McNeil Engineering’s Survey team recently supported the Skyline Mine site with drone-based LiDAR survey and stockpile analysis.

Using an RTK-enabled drone equipped with LiDAR sensors, the team captured detailed surface data and created a precise model for volume calculations. This helped improve field safety, reduce disruption, and give mine operators reliable data for tracking material quantities and planning ahead.

Shout out to our very own Michael Hoffman for spearheading this effort!

Great engineering is not just about what appears on a blueprint. It is about understanding the details, patterns, and human behavior that shape how projects perform in the real world. In our latest blog, we explore the hidden decisions that make spaces feel intuitive, functional, and built to last.

The Spaces Between the Lines - McNeil Engineering

A great day on the range with even better company.

A big thank you to our team, clients, partners, and friends who joined us yesterday at Wasatch Wing & Clay for our annual trap shoot. We appreciate everyone who took time out of their schedules to spend the morning with us, enjoy some friendly competition, and strengthen the relationships that make our work so rewarding.

Thanks again to everyone who came out. We had a fantastic time and are already looking forward to the next one!

Every site tells a story before anything is built.

Slope, soil, drainage, access. It is all there if you know how to read it.

The better you understand a site early, the better your project performs later.

Concrete is getting a serious upgrade.

New low-carbon mixes are reducing cement content while maintaining compressive strength, and some are even incorporating carbon capture during curing. On top of that, self-healing concrete technologies are starting to address microcracking before it becomes a long-term durability issue.

The result is not just sustainability. It is longer life cycles, fewer repairs, and better performance over time.

Concrete is no longer just a structural material. It is becoming a smarter one.

Big things are coming to Salt Lake’s Granary District!!

Texas-based concepts The Rustic and Bowl & Barrel are officially headed to Silo Park, bringing live music, food, bowling, and entertainment to one of the city’s fastest-growing redevelopment areas. The project will include 700+ housing units, major retail space, and new community gathering areas right in the heart of downtown’s evolving west side.

At McNeil Engineering, it’s exciting to watch transformative mixed-use developments continue reshaping Utah’s urban landscape and creating vibrant spaces for people to live, work, and connect.

The Granary District continues to show us what the future of SLC looks like!

A taste of Texas is moving into Salt Lake City's latest major development A pair of restaurants with a Lone-Star-State flair are moving into one of Salt Lake City's newest developments.

Some of the hardest engineering projects are the ones that look the simplest once they are finished.

In our latest blog, we explore why small details, tight constraints, and strong coordination often make the biggest difference in long-term project performance.

Survey data is the foundation of accurate design.

Before finalizing plans for construction, make sure boundary lines, elevations, and existing features are properly documented. Reliable survey information reduces design conflicts and keeps projects aligned during construction.

Accuracy early saves time later.

Strong projects start with strong planning.

Whether you’re developing commercial property, designing infrastructure, or planning a residential community, the right engineering partner makes all the difference.
