About

At Miller & Associates, our engineering team helps communities plan, design, and deliver aquatic facilities that are safe, efficient, and designed to last. From initial planning and concept through construction, we partner with local leaders to create pools and improve aquatic facilities that support recreation, programming, and community engagement while aligning with long-term goals and available funding.

Our team provides comprehensive engineering support throughout each phase of the project. We assist with site selection and feasibility, develop concept layouts, and advance designs that address hydraulics, water quality systems, grading, drainage, and utility coordination. We work closely with architects and aquatic specialists to ensure all components are fully integrated and designed for reliable, efficient operation.

We also support permitting and regulatory coordination, helping communities navigate health department requirements and applicable standards with clarity and confidence. During construction, we provide bidding assistance and construction observation to help keep projects on track and ensure the final facility reflects the design intent.

Our approach emphasizes coordination, practicality, and long-term performance, delivering aquatic facilities that are easy to maintain, cost-effective to operate, and built to serve communities for years.

Julesburg Municipal Swimming Pool & Bathhouse Facility completed project

Miller & Associates worked closely with the Town of Julesburg to transform its vision for a new aquatic facility into a functional, community-centered asset. The project began with collaborative planning efforts involving Town Council and key stakeholders to evaluate site options, identify priorities, and establish a layout that aligned with the community’s recreational goals and long-term vision for Julesburg Town Park.

Following the planning phase, our team developed preliminary and final design documents, including conceptual layouts, design criteria, specifications, and an opinion of probable construction cost. The facility was designed to balance user experience, safety, and operational efficiency, incorporating features that appeal to a wide range of users while maintaining manageable long-term maintenance requirements.

The bathhouse was strategically located for accessibility and visibility within the park and designed to accommodate daily operations with dedicated shower facilities, family amenities, and a separate mechanical room for pool systems. Throughout construction, Miller & Associates served as the Town’s representative, providing construction observation, coordinating with the contractor, reviewing submittals and testing results, and assisting with pay applications and project closeout.

Completed in 2024, the new pool and bathhouse facility enhances recreational opportunities in Julesburg and provides a durable, well-designed space that supports both current needs and future expansion.
