Parks and trail contracts across Tigard
Tigard has built more trail in the past ten years than most cities its size, and every segment brings boardwalk, bridge and path crews working from a trailhead or a street end. A Tigard trail contract takes one cabin at the access point, moved along the alignment as the work advances, with a handwashing station for crews handling wet timber and concrete.
Park projects in Tigard run to a different rhythm. Playground replacements, shelter rebuilds and sports field drainage are booked into the drier months, and a Tigard park job holds a single cabin at the maintenance access for the duration rather than moving it around.
Downtown infill and civic work in Tigard
The blocks around Main Street in Tigard have been steadily redeveloped, with apartments above retail and public realm work between them. Those Tigard sites are tight, hard against the pavement, so cabins go inside the site fencing and the service window is agreed against whatever lane closure the contractor holds.
Civic projects add to that. When a Tigard public building is refurbished the staff and visitors stay in occupation, so contractor facilities have to be separate and screened, and we place the Tigard cabin in the works compound rather than anywhere the public passes.
Fanno Creek, flooding and Tigard placements
Fanno Creek cuts through the middle of Tigard and it comes out of bank most winters, flooding the lower park meadows and parts of the trail. Nothing is left in the Tigard floodplain from November to March, and even in summer we favor the paved path edge or a parking lot apron.
The rest of Tigard is flat valley clay that stays saturated for months. A cabin on bare Tigard ground in midwinter will settle unevenly and become difficult to pump, so we set on asphalt, base rock or a mat and check the footing at each service visit.
