With 14 unique disciplines spanning dozens of markets, our team of 200 professionals can help you with any project from start to finish. Widseth is a full-service architecture, engineering, environmental, and surveying firm with eight offices in Minnesota and one in North Dakota. We build solid relationships with our clients. The ultimate goal of every project is to see you, our client, succeed. Our architects, engineers, scientists, and surveyors will be with you every step of the way. The video we created with Widseth for the Blueprint 181 building referendum in 2018 was a game changer.
We have extensive survey records from acquired firms, a very large library of private survey files, and we are familiar with the public survey records of Minnesota, North Dakota, and Nebraska. Our established client base includes both the public and private sectors. Our private-sector work ranges from single lots to subdivision plats and from construction staking to topographical surveys. Public sector work typically involves large GPS control projects, section subdivisions, monumentation, road and underground utility staking, and road surveys for reconstruction and bridge design.
Widseth's land surveyors and technicians perform a variety of services for clients throughout the Midwest. Our private-sector work ranges from single lots to subdivision plats and from construction staking to topographical surveys. Public sector work-for clients such as the Department of Transportation, the Department of Natural Resources, USDA Forest Service, counties, and cities-typically involves GPS control projects (whether small or large), section subdivisions, monumentation, road and underground utility staking, and road surveys for reconstruction and bridge design.
Widseth has been with the National Loon Center since day one over three years ago. We have more than 100 partners supporting us and I feel Widseth is the most important. Their leadership in various fields - architectural, engineering, video development, and project management, has led the NLC to becoming a reality. Widseth's architects provide creative design solutions for a range of public, commercial, and industrial buildings including schools, healthcare facilities, retail and commercial centers, factories, housing, and more.
The various roads in your community play an important role in how the city functions. Well-designed streets provide efficient transportation systems for vehicles and pedestrians. Widseth's civil engineers offer the following expertise for street & highway projects. Widseth designed a new water treatment plant for the City of Randall and helped obtain funding from two sources: the Public Facilities Authority (PFA) program and the Drinking Water Revolving Fund (DWRF). Randall had relied on two wells to supply drinking water to its residents for more than 50 years.
Widseth's structural engineers design new bridges that meet AASHTO and state department of transportation requirements, hydraulic and site conditions, and clients' and users' needs. Working with our clients and other stakeholders, our team of engineers analyzes several factors including traffic, site conditions, types of uses, and budget to determine such specifics as width, type, materials, and aesthetics. Our structural engineers design bridge approaches to tie the bridge into the existing roadway surface.
Creating an environment in which students can learn is so much more than simply designing a structure. It's about creating a sense of place, one that supports the curriculum, inspires learning, instills pride, and motivates students to excel. Most of all, it's about designing a school in which students and faculty feel safe, comfortable, and fulfilled. Widseth's architects and engineers work directly with clinic doctors, hospital administration, and staff to design a functional, client-centered healthcare facility that supports the health care providers' mission and the clients' well-being.

Working with public and private clients, Widseth offers creative and environmentally responsible landscape design. Our landscape designers work side-by-side with our engineers and architects throughout all stages of the design process. The primary focus of our team is to create a site that blurs the line between the natural and built environments tailoring each solution to the site specific needs of our clients to create a timeless and memorable experience. In this series of videos, Widseth's staff guide Mankato student Chloe Aanenson on her quest to learn about the architecture, engineering, and construction industries.
Widseth's mechanical engineers design efficient HVAC and plumbing systems. Mechanical systems provide comfort to occupants, play a key role in ensuring healthy indoor air quality, and can help extend a building's lifecycle. Regardless of your project's size, our mechanical engineers will provide creative, sustainable solutions to fit your needs. Using the latest technology is imperative to designing efficient and cost-effective mechanical systems. Widseth's mechanical engineers employ energy analysis software to predict a building's energy consumption and evaluate different systems.
Widseth assisted Brainerd Public Schools in collaboration with our partners to test seating options and find the most effective furniture solutions for their classrooms across multiple ages of students, teachers, and educational team members. We did a study to see how students were accessing the curriculum based on the furniture we provided. We found that students had more engagement if we provided furniture that allowed them to move. Every classroom has four seating options. Students are very active and we allow for them to do that.
