Big Sky Resort
Engineering the Infrastructure Behind Two Big Sky Communities
Service: Concrete, Soils, and Compaction Testing
The Challenge
Big Sky Resort needed two multi-phase residential subdivisions, Powder Ridge (89 cabin sites) and Cascade (62+ lots), designed and built in demanding mountainous terrain. The topography required specialized infrastructure solutions far beyond a standard subdivision, including pressure management systems, commercial-grade booster stations, and complex utility routing across steep and variable ground.
Our Solution
Gaston Engineering & Surveying provided conceptual planning, lot and road layout, utility design, grading, platting, and certification across both projects. We engineered pressure-reducing valve vaults, high-pressure blow-offs, drop manholes, irrigation meter pits, and a full commercial booster station. These needed to be complete with pumps, piping, alarms, and backup power in order to deliver reliable water and sewer service across both subdivisions.
