Today’s lunch and learn at Allen Engineering and Services was anything but ordinary—we swapped sandwiches for CPR dummies and learned how to save lives between bites!

Our team got hands-on with CPR and First Aid training, and while there were a few laughs (turns out chest compressions are a workout!), the message was serious: being prepared can make all the difference.
💡 Why it matters:

* Emergencies don’t RSVP.
* Knowing what to do = confidence + calm.
* You never know when you might be the hero.

Big thanks to our awesome instructor, Nathan Bell with Bell Life Safety, and everyone who joined in.

As the NCASI, Inc. Conference wraps up in Buckhead, GA, we at Allen Engineering and Science, Inc. are thankful for the chance to be part of such a valuable event.

It was a privilege to sponsor this year’s conference and support the important work NCASI continues to do for our industry. The sessions and conversations sparked fresh ideas and meaningful connections, reminding us of the power of collaboration in driving innovation.

Thank you to NCASI for hosting a thoughtful and impactful gathering—we’re proud to be part of this community.

Dr. Melissa Gordon Pringle, Ph.D. of Allen Engineering and Science, Inc. attended the 11th Annual Women’s Day Luncheon sponsored by International Paper and associated with the Sanderson Farms Championship Golf Tournament. The luncheon raised funds for the Children’s of Mississippi and featured Elizabeth Heiskell as the keynote speaker. Eating well and supporting a good cause…..what a great day out of the office!

⛳️ We didn’t swing clubs, but we definitely brought the fun!

Allen Engineering and Science’s Rebekah Phyfer and Owen McIntosh held down the fort at Mississippi Manufacturers Association PAC Golf Tournament — armed with snacks, drinks, and the ultimate challenge: Guess how many tees were in the jar (spoiler: it was harder than it looked 👀).
It was great meeting everyone who stopped by our table — whether you came for the refreshments or stayed for the guessing game, we loved chatting with you!
Until next time… we’ll be practicing our tee-counting skills. 😉

Allen Engineering and Science, Inc. hosted a wine tasting at the office — but with a twist. Our resident geologist and amateur wine connoisseur, Andrew Williams, GIT, educated us on Terroir (aka how soil, climate, and topography shape the taste of wine).

Turns out, geology isn’t just for fieldwork — it’s for flavor. From limestone to lava flows, Andrew showed how the ground beneath the grapes makes all the difference.

Great wine, great company, and a little science to swirl around. Cheers! 🥂

The City of Foley and Allen Engineering and Science, Inc. hosted a public meeting to support the development of a Stormwater Management Plan for the Bon Secour Watershed. Led by Jay C. Estes, AICP, Kori Nadine Armstrong, PhD, and Oliver Birch, the session engaged residents and stakeholders in identifying local drainage issues.

The team shared findings from recent fieldwork, highlighting flooding and drainage issues. Attendees contributed through interactive GIS mapping, providing valuable local insight to guide the next planning phase, which includes flood modeling and infrastructure solutions. The plan will focus on practical, cost-effective improvements that reflect community needs. Allen Engineering and Science, Inc. is proud to help Foley build a more resilient future through collaborative planning.

✅ The 2025 Air & Waste Management Association Conference was a great success!

Allen Engineering and Science, Inc. was proud to have Michael Hohm, P.E. present on coastal landfill design to improve sustainability—a critical topic for advancing environmental stewardship.

A big thank you to all the organizers and participants who made this event possible. Your dedication and collaboration drive meaningful progress in our industry.

Looking forward to connecting again at next year’s conference!
