Advanced geotechnical solutions shared a fun fact with us about their discoveries up at the WSR site!

Being able to see the culmination of everyone’s effort when this project is completed will be something WLC will be very proud of for years to come. As several employees in our office have been involved in youth sports, we know how difficult it can be to get court time in Casper.

We hope the new development attracts new hotels, restaurants, drink establishments, and other service or entertainment related establishments. This facility will create a buzz factor for the entire state as Casper becomes a travel destination for families and youth sports teams to take part in the tournaments regularly. This development will increase tourism to the City with families hopefully making the tournaments part of a larger vacation in and around the state."
Andreen Hunt Const., Inc. has been contracted to perform the earthwork and site utility infrastructure for the WSR facility. Andreen Hunt has a mission to "Build a Better World" and what a great partner to have as we are trying to Build a Better Wyoming!
When asked about their mission, Burt Andreen noted, “ One of our founders, Bill Hunt, originated that saying back in 1998 when Andreen Hunt was in its infant stages. We believe that our number one focus should always be quality. Over the past 25 years we have focused our business on putting in our quality work for new development and helping Casper expand both residentially and commercially. "Building a Better World" means that everything we work on is a quality project moving our community forward.” whether its new streets, or water and sewer infrastructure. Our goal is to help our clients better serve theirs through improved facilities."
In regard to their scope as the Earthwork Contractor, Andreen Hunt said that “Being the site contractor, we are typically the first ones on the project, consequently everything that happens from there on is built on the dirt and utility work that we do. It's a very important part of the process and that's why we are very thorough with our compaction and testing. It all starts at the ground!” We couldn’t agree more and greatly appreciate their work!
Why are you excited to be part of this project?
“Andreen Hunt was excited for the opportunity to work on the Wyoming Sports Ranch because of what it will do for our community. Our company is celebrating serving Casper for that past 25 years and this project is an excellent opportunity to continue doing what we love in the place we love to do it.
What does this project mean to your company & employees?
Our owner's have made their living and raised their families in Casper. A large part of that family time was spent at sports competitions. As we traveled, we saw some great facilities, and this one means that generations to come will have a state-of-the-art space right in our backyard. This is a landmark project for our community and also for us as a company. We are privileged to be included.”
What do you hope this facility will do for the City of Casper and State of Wyoming?
“We are excited for Casper to be a destination. We have a lot of draws but none like the WSR, we are excited for people from around the region to experience what we have to offer. We also believe that this is the tip of the iceberg for development in that area, and nothing gives us more pleasure than taking a fresh site and helping turn it into something great. The WSR and the future development in the area will afford us many opportunities for that down the road. Our leadership has been raised in Wyoming and goes back three or four generations here. We recreate, in Wyoming, earn our livings in Wyoming, and serve central Wyoming with our business. Take us out of here and we don't know what to do with ourselves. We are lucky to live in the most wonderful place on earth.”
