America First: parking‑garage piles, hillside retaining wall and water bypass move forward at Riverdale campus
Summary
America First’s corporate campus phase 1 is advancing: pile driving for the parking garage will begin within a week, construction crews are placing retaining‑wall block after driving 260 steel piles, and the developer is installing a 30‑inch water bypass line with Weber Basin Water District.
America First representatives updated the Riverdale City Council on construction progress at the corporate campus site, saying work on the parking garage, hillside retaining wall and a new water bypass line will accelerate in the coming weeks.
Tim Schneiderman, representing America First, told the council crews have completed footings and piers for the parking garage and will begin pile driving on the garage within the next week after an FAA delay. He also said engineers have driven about 260 steel column piles for a hillside retaining wall and that crews would begin placing retaining‑wall block immediately following that work.
Schneiderman described other milestones on the site: foundation work is scheduled to start on the office building in June, Rocky Mountain Power crews have begun utility work in the roundabout area, and America First is coordinating a 30‑inch bypass water line across the property with Weber Basin Water District to reduce the duration of any future shutdowns of the main water feed to the city. He said the bypass line is intended to keep residents supplied with water during planned shutdowns to tie new infrastructure into the system.
Schneiderman also discussed a temporary FAA restriction that had delayed crane operations. He said America First currently has clearance to operate cranes up to 200 feet; a separate permit has been applied for to increase that limit to 260 feet when steel work for the office building begins.
Councilors asked about the timing for the roundabout and when Riverdale residents can expect the roadwork to be completed. Schneiderman said Rocky Mountain Power crews were on site pulling wire and that the developer hoped to have the roundabout paved and open by June, but cautioned that unexpected obstacles could cause delays.
No formal council action was required; the presentation served as an informational update on construction milestones and coordination with utilities and state/federal permitting agencies.
