Company Portfolio

We are particularly proud of our Survey Department which provides the needed support for virtually all engineering designs. Using state of the art equipment, our Survey Department provides the topographic mapping and utility location required to design and construct any system on or under the earth's surface. Our Survey Staff also includes an expert in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to enhance the value of our data and improve coordination with other consultants and government agencies.

In addition to support services, our Survey Department also acts independently to provide boundary surveys, easements, mortgage surveys, family transfers, and platting of commercial and residential subdivisions. We invite you to review their impressive list of projects.

Geotechnical Engineering

Allied takes pride in offering Geotechnical Services not normally performed by similar firms. We have four geotechnical engineers on staff, two of whom possess advanced degrees in soil mechanics and one with an additional degree in geologic engineering. This added specialty, combined with our in-house testing lab, provides additional levels of design and efficiency to almost any project.

Geotechnical work includes geologic and hydrogeologic evaluations, foundation investigations, and soils testing for projects ranging from private residential homes to water supply projects, bridges, multi-story commercial buildings, highway reconstruction projects, and dams. The products include overall site analysis and foundation and road design recommendations. Our geotechnical staff provides services from project inception through construction, working closely with contractors to provide field testing and recommendations for all types of soils.

In recent years, slope stability analyses and the remediation of landslides have been a particularly important focus of geotechnical study. As land development takes place on mountain hillsides, our staff has utilized increasingly sophisticated software models to assess the risk of slope movement and provide recommendations to improve safety.

This Municipal Solid Waste Compost Facility is located near the west entrance to Yellowstone National Park and is the first in the State of Montana. This compost facility will receive all the municipal solid waste from Yellowstone National Park and from the West Yellowstone/Hebgen Basin Solid Waste District (WY/HBSWD).

The facility will process the municipal solid waste into compost using in-vessel composting technology. Allied Engineering Services provided geotechnical analysis for the site, site grading, pavement and utility improvements, structural design, and construction inspection for the 19,000 square foot facility.

Phase I of the project included the preparation of technical specifications and bid documents for the equipment and process design, working with composting equipment suppliers, and organizing and managing the bidding process. Once the equipment and process design was awarded the second phase of the project required the design of the facility around the proposed equipment.

Phase II required the design and specifications for the building and foundation, site, grading, utilities and roadways based on the process proposed by the equipment supplier in Phase I. The facility site, located on a lease from the National Forest Service, has required coordination with various federal and state agencies. The second phase of the project was completed in the spring of 2003.

Allied Engineering utilized state of the art software including HEC-GeoRas and ArcView to perform the flood mapping. The studied reach includes upstream and downstream of the junction between the two rivers. Allied's client, Joe Van Mullem, performed the hydrologic analysis and floodplain modeling. The floodplain modeling was performed with the computer program HEC-RAS and involved complicated flow spits, levees, ice jamming analysis, and numerous bridges.

Key Project Elements:

• Automated Geometry Extraction and Floodplain Mapping • HEC-RAS, HEC-GeoRAS, ArcView with 3D Analyst • Compliance with FEMA Guidelines and Specifications for • Flood Hazard Mapping Partners • Floodplain mapping for an area covering roughly 7.5 square

miles • Over 6 miles of river studied • Over 40 bathymetric cross-sections utilizing GPS, a boat,

Project Personnel Paul Sanford, PE

Doug Chandler, PE, PhD Allied Survey Dept.

Allied Engineering Services, Inc. assisted Park County to win a FEMA grant to evaluate potential flood mitigation measures on the Yellowstone River.

The intent of the mitigation measures was to encourage the river to better utilize its east channel around some islands near Livingston. The study involved: geomorphic evaluations of the river reach; surveying 40 cross sections of the Yellowstone River, a complex HEC-2 analysis, and coordination with county, state, and federal funding and regulatory agencies. The cross-sectional elevations were measured using a combination of Real Time Kinematic (RTK) Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment, depth finder, and motorized raft.

Allied Engineering provided comprehensive design services for the reconstruction of a 6 mile segment of US-93 for MDT. This project was part of the large-scale design effort, under the Design Management team of Skillings-Connolly, to reconstruct 56 miles of US-93 from Evaro to Polson. The project was a unique partnership between MDT, FHWA, and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes and was considered a "landmark" project for this area of the country.

This project included: rural and urban roadway reconstruction, a new couplet around Arlee, reconstruction of twelve county roads, and accommodating extensive irrigation systems that cross or parallel the project. The downtown Arlee segment involved extensive landscaping, curb & gutter, decorative sidewalk, concrete intersections, decorative lighting, intersection "bulb-outs" for pedestrian safety, ADA ramps to existing buildings, and on-street parking. There were also 1.5 miles of multi-use trail design planned for south of Arlee. The Hydraulics group designed a new storm drain system for Arlee, including retention and detention ponds, and a 2,300 foot open channel outfall. AESI also provided additional surveys, traffic warrant studies, pavement design, signing & striping plans, erosion control plans, geotechnical investigation, public involvement, and final plan set production.

There were many unique and challenging design issues throughout this complex corridor. These included sensitive environmental and tribal cultural issues, architectural designs, and wildlife considerations. Allied Engineering welcomed the extensive design coordination and detailed effort a project of this magnitude requires. This project gave us solid experience with coordination efforts between MDT, Design Management Team, Project Architects, Tribal Representatives, Flathead Agency Irrigation District, MRL, Arlee Sewer District, Utility Companies, and the residents of Arlee.
