AllenES is pleased to welcome two new Scientists to the team.

Chris Harland received his BS in Geological Engineering from University of Mississippi. Mr. Harland has technical and field experience specializing in environmental assessments, environmental compliance, surface and groundwater sampling, and he is a State of Mississippi Certifies Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) Inspector.  Areas of concentration include Environmental Due Diligence and Risk Assessment, Remedial Investigations, and ACM Surveys.

Katelyn Giles serves as a Scientist with the firm and received a MS in Environmental Science from University of Memphis and a BS in Biology with a concentration on Marine Science from University of South Alabama.  Katelyn’s research was conducted on coastal processes and marine science.

 

The AllenES construction team just recently completed a 3.5-acre municipal solid waste landfill cell for Waste Connections at the Leflore County Landfill.   AllenES hosted a fish fry to celebrate the project completion and to thank Waste Connections for this great opportunity to build their new landfill cell.

 

Colonel Jeremy J. Chapman, P.E. serves as the Commander and District Engineer for the USACE, Mobile District and was the Keynote Speaker at the 30th Annual Southeastern Environmental Law and Regulation Conference.  AllenES proudly served as a sponsor of the conference held in San Destin, Florida.

 

AllenES was contracted to oversee gate construction at the entrance to the Nanih Waiya Cave outside of Louisville, MS.   The gate will keep people out of the cave while still allowing bats to freely exit and enter for foraging and resting purposes.  This is part of a larger conservation effort on Choctaw tribal lands.
