Skier
Bridges, Yellowstone Development, LLC
Big Sky, Montana
Allied Engineering Services,
Inc. worked with the Yellowstone Club to provide structural
design and grade separation between vehicular access to residences
and skiers accessing lifts. The grade separations were provided
by a series of four bridges. Several provided for vehicles
to pass over the skier paths while the others routed skiers
over the road.
The crossing locations proved
to be challenging for designing bridges with steep grades,
sharp skew angles and existing ski lift locations. In several
locations the result was massive abutments and wing walls
to retain the large earth embankments. Steel beams and a
concrete deck were chosen for longevity and structural capacity.
Snow grooming equipment and vehicles as well as skiers will
be using the bridges.
Due to the location within
an upscale residential community, aesthetics were a major
consideration for these structures. To accommodate the demand
for bridges that fit with the setting, the design incorporated
stone facing for all walls and abutments. Project completion
date was 2003.

Hillcrest
Retirement Center
Bozeman, Montana
Aspen Point at Hillcrest is a large assisted living / retirement community with state-of-the-art health care facilities for its senior residents. The Hillcrest facilities are located on a 7.03 acre campus with a 68,000 sq. ft. building footprint situated between the previously existing facility and a major pre-existing transmission water main.
The site and grading designs had to provide for adequate depth of burial for the pre-existing water mains as well as protect the integrity of the existing structure while maintaining an ease of use for the elderly residents. Allied Engineering
provided complete civil site design as well as geotechnical engineering, surveying and staking, materials testing, and construction inspection for this project. Careful foundation design and construction oversight allowed the project to be completed using shallow foundations bearing on structural fill and the lightly cemented Tertiary sediments present at the site. Allied also designed the grading and drainage, retaining walls, and water and sewer main extensions.
