ustomers with excellence and the result is quality projects that make our communities a better place to live, work and play. Keeping our focus on our people allows us to attract and retain the best team possible, a team that is committed to doing great work and doing it in a way that makes the projects and process more enjoyable for everyone.

NorthStar had a great time attending the 4th Annual Durham Baseball Golf Tournament at Bailey Creek Golf Course last Saturday.

We were also glad to further support Durham Baseball by sponsoring a hole during the tournament. It was a fun day spent with community members, supporters, and alumni all coming together to support Durham's baseball community.

A great weekend spent building alongside our community. NorthStar was glad to be part of this year’s Women Build event with Habitat for Humanity of Butte County.

NorthStar joined others in the community for a hands-on day of building and giving back. Women Build brings people together to help create strength, stability, and safe places to call home for families in our region.

Thank you to everyone who made this event possible.

Community is important to us at NorthStar, and we’re grateful to have recently supported two great local events in April.

Earlier this month, we sponsored Chico Brewfest at Patrick Ranch, an event that raises funds for local charities supporting veterans and the prevention of child abuse in Butte County.

We also supported the Growing Great Futures Farm to Fork Dinner benefiting the Boys & Girls Clubs of the North Valley. The event helps fund their summer programs with provide local youth with mentorship, meals, educational opportunities, and a safe place to grow.

We appreciate the organizations, volunteers, and community members who make events like these possible. It’s always meaningful to support efforts that strengthen the place we call home.

This week, NorthStar’s survey team is out in the field completing a detailed survey of a regional water reservoir in the North State.

Our engineering group requested comprehensive information on the existing water pipe network, and there’s no better tool for that job than our NavVis VLX 3.

Featured here is PLS Tim Alldrin operating the VLX, navigating steep elevation changes and working through a complex pipe system. The VLX’s mobile mapping capabilities let us document every bend, grade break, and connection with precision, giving our engineering team the confidence they need for upcoming design work.

Last week our surveyors were working in the northern Sierra Nevada mountains, near Fall River, on a large boundary project. Pictured is our Party Chief Ron Young locating a Public Land Survey System stone monument.

Stone monuments are some of the earliest and most legally powerful physical markers in any retracement survey.
