City of Bozeman Water Facility Plan and
Montana State University Water Facility Plan
Bozeman, Montana

Allied completed a comprehensive 20 year water facility plan for the City of Bozeman and a linked but separate plan for Montana State University, which receives its water from the City of Bozeman system. The Water Facility Plans included complete working computer models of the water distribution systems, and an analysis of the City's existing water supply, water treatment plant and storage and distribution systems. Alternatives, recommendations and cost projections were provided as well as easy to follow executive summaries to be used by City and University staff and leaders as part of their Capital Improvements Plans.

City of Bozeman Solid Waste Transfer Station
Bozeman, Montana

Allied Engineering Services, Inc. was responsible for site selection, facilitator of public meetings, site layout, site design, infrastructure improvements, building design, permitting and licensing, and bidding of the City of Bozeman Solid Waste Transfer Station.

When complete, the transfer station will provide a central facility for the routing of City and County solid waste to an appropriate landfill disposal site via semi-tractor trailers. The facility is located in the entryway corridor at the primary north entrance to Bozeman, Montana. The facility was designed not only to provide functional operation, but also to be an aesthetic landmark reflecting the proud image of the City. The design phase of this project was completed in 2005.

 

Big Sky Water Improvements
Big Sky, Montana

This project involved design and construction management for a one million gallon fully buried concrete water reservoir, a multiple pump booster station with complex telemetry controls, four PRV stations, 10,000 feet of ductile iron water main, and demolition and removal of three water storage reservoirs.

Allied Engineering was responsible for preparing easements and obtaining all necessary permits and approvals. Allied also secured “State Revolving Fund” funding for the project. The one million gallon reservoir was designed and constructed in an environmentally sensitive, mountainous area meeting seismic zone four requirements.

Allied Engineering received two awards for this project from the Montana Contractors Association: one for the Best Specialty Project, and the other was a Montana Environmental Excellence Award. Project completion was 2004.

 

West Yellowstone Composting Facility
West Yellowstone, Montana

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 receives all the municipal solid waste from Yellowstone National Park and from the West Yellowstone/Hebgen Basin Solid Waste District.

The facility processes 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 this 19,000 square foot facility.

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

Belgrade Sewer Outfall
Belgrade, Montana

Allied Engineering designed 7,400 feet of 21-inch sewer main for the Belgrade Sewer Outfall project. The new main provides sanitary sewer collection for approximately 144 acres of existing developed area with the City of Belgrade as well as collection of a new 60-acre 290 lot subdivision. The pipeline was also sized to accept a sizeable collection area for future development south of Interstate 90. Allied Engineering developed a payback agreement for future tie-in.

The sewer outfall design required extensive planning and design to accommodate low gradients, interception of existing sewer mains and services, 220 feet of jack and bore under the Montana Rail Link railroad and U.S. Highway 10, an easement through Gallatin Field Airport, and tie-in to one of the City's major sanitary sewer vaults. Additionally, approximately 1,450 feet of the pipeline was located within an existing street which required reconstruction following installation of the pipeline.
