Pub. 14 2019 Issue 1

www.ucls.org 8 Issue 1 2019 / UCLS Foresights T he schedule is set, and we have a number of local surveyors helping us out with some great topics and presentations on Surveyors of the Utah Territories. Thank you for those who have volunteered their time and talents to share these topics with the country. A couple of interesting developments have taken place with respect to the educational leave-behinds that we have been working on. First, the Utah Railroad Museum has graciously offered us a larger exhibit area than expected and in the discussion with them, it looks like this will be a yearlong exhibit and then will be condensed down into a smaller,more permanent exhibit. Based on these discussions, we are hoping to do a timeline of old to new survey equipment, helping the public to get a more modern look at surveying, together with the historic aspect. We currently have a good start of old equipment thanks to the BLM, Weber County, Matt Clark, and Great Basin Engineering, Inc., but are still in need of any old survey equipment that you may be willing to lend the museum for a year. It will give you a chance to get it out of storage and show it off. We are also looking for any old photographs or maps you may have that we can get a digital copy of. If you have any old equipment, monuments, chains, tapes, drawings, field books, or photographs please contact Andy Hubbard, Matt Clark or Bahy Rahimzadegan for more information and to find out exactly what is needed. Second, due to some restrictions with This is The Place Historical Park, we are unable to place anything outside the Orson Pratt Observatory, but have been asked to prepare a sketch of what we think we could do with the inside of the building. So, we are in the process of re- working the exhibit. We were able to work with the Staff at This is the Place Heritage Park and place some rough posters of the information we are proposing inside the Pratt Observatory. The UCLS and the SHS will be working on this the next few months, and we will let everyone know when it is in place so you can go check it out; there is a lot to see there. t Surveyors Historical Society Update • FREE face to face networking & business development for subs and suppliers • Team-building with architects, engineers and owners that attend Official Notice for the Mountainlands Area Plan Room’s Networking Event The Plan Room’s 2ND Southern Utah Annual SW Meet the GCs EVENT Friday February 21, 2020 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM Hilton Garden Inn - Next to the Dixie Center, St. George, UT Team-Building / Sub & Supplier Development Day #MeetGCsEvent www.MeetTheGCs.com • www.MeetTheGenerals.com FollowTwitter.com/MeetGCsEvent #MeetGCsEvent Bringing theTeamTogether A Regional Pre-Construction Hub Covering theWest Since 1990 Mike Luke: 801-288-1188 • Mountainlands Area Plan Room Additional sponsorships available: Contact mike@maprutah.com or 801-891-5898 Sponsored by ENR Mountain States
