Bassett Engineering 20th Anniversary

By

Today marks our 20th anniversary of incorporation! While Bassett Engineering was founded in 1996, we incorporated in 2000. We have been very fortunate to work for so many clients through all these years on a tremendous variety of projects: wastewater collection and treatment, bridges and culverts, roads, land development and buildings, water treatment and distribution, municipal, county, private and industrial clients, too many to list. We remain true to our original motto of being the engineering leaders in all areas where we practice using proven technology in innovative arrangements.

We would like to thank all of our clients, employees, and business partners, past and present!

Completed Project: Terry Township Post-Framed Garage

By

Bassett Engineering worked with Stoltzfus Contracting on this project for Terry Township that involved building a new garage for with a structural frame that consisted of 8 x 8 timbers and pre-engineered roof trusses. The garage is approximately 72 x 44 feet. It has three 14 ft. x 14 ft. garage doors plus two 3-foot wide man doors.  Bassett designed the garage including: exterior siding, roofing, interior liner panels, garage and man-doors, through-door to existing grading. The concrete floor is designed to be heavy enough to support dump trucks and construction equipment. The garage is well-insulated thanks to spray-on foam insulation in the side walls and blown-in fiberglass above the ceiling liner panel. The attic space will be ventilated by gravity louvers (no fans).

Completed Project: Millville Water Line Replacement

By

Bassett Engineering designed, bid, and supervised construction of the replacement of 750′ of water line for Millville Borough in 2019. The existing 4-inch main was replaced with a 6-inch main and new valves to enhance the operation of the system. The project was completed on a compressed schedule due to the needs of the service connections.

Facts About Act 13

By

Here are some facts about Act 13 from our President:

The state of Pennsylvania passed Act 13 with the intent that recipients spend the money building infrastructure that would help residents and the gas industry. Many municipalities receive critical boosts to their budgets from Act 13, and those moneys would be sorely missed if they were to go away. Every year major efforts are undertaken, mostly from downstate interests, to eliminate Act 13. We encourage you to spend your Act 13 moneys wisely. Nearly every municipality has a road, bridge or culvert that could stand improvement.

Emergency generators are another wise expenditure for Act 13 funds. Municipal buildings are critical infrastructure any time, but particularly during and after natural disasters. Electricity, internet and cell service are absolute essentials that must remain in service. We now have underway several projects to add emergency generators for municipalities and Authorities; these are affordable projects. Please contact Bassett Engineering if you need assistance with an emergency generator.

Bassett Engineering has completed a wide variety of projects for Municipalities, Authorities, and private clients throughout our 20 plus years of operation. In the past couple of years a number of unique projects have greatly broadened our expertise.

Here’s some information on how naming an Engineer, can help your Township or Borough:

Retained Engineer for Grants: If your municipality has not traditionally named an Engineer, we encourage you to do so because it can help with grant and emergency funding, most of which that involve construction require the municipality to name an Engineer to design the project and oversee construction.  If the municipality has a retained Engineer, work can begin immediately. If not, the municipality often must select an engineer through a competitive process, a time-consuming effort that takes 1 or 2 months.  Such time is not available in the case of emergencies such as flooding. If your municipality has not already named an Engineer, we ask that you consider naming Bassett Engineering as your Engineer.
