Aerial LiDAR Data Collection to Support Erosion Control Management

Allen Engineering and Science, Inc. is committed to leveraging cutting-edge technology to tackle complex environmental challenges. One of our current projects involves developing an erosion control plan for a solar farm, and we’d like to share how our advanced LiDAR drone is playing a crucial role in this process.

What is LiDAR?
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is a remote sensing method that uses light to measure variable distances to bare ground. This technology is incredibly effective in mapping areas with thick vegetation or other obstructions that make traditional data collection methods difficult.

How AllenES Uses LiDAR
In this project, our LiDAR drone is being used to collect and map topographic elevation data, providing detailed data on the extent of erosion and the flow of water across the land. This information is invaluable for our civil engineers as they develop strategies to mitigate erosion and ensure the sustainability of the solar farm.

AllenES Capabilities
Our LiDAR drone is regularly deployed across various projects within our company, demonstrating its versatility and effectiveness in different environments. Whether it’s dense forests, rugged terrains, or urban landscapes, our LiDAR technology provides precise and comprehensive data that informs our engineering solutions.

By integrating advanced technologies like LiDAR into our projects, we are able to deliver efficient, innovative and sustainable solutions that address environmental challenges head-on.

Stay tuned for more insights and updates on our projects!

Civil Engineering Design for 186th Air Refueling Wing (ARW) Field Training and Base Gym Facility at Key Field ANG Base in Meridian, MS

Allen Engineering and Science, Inc. (AllenES), as a member of the Duvall Decker Architects design team, recently completed civil engineering design services for the Field Training and Base Gym facility for the 186th Air Refueling Wing (ARW) at Key Field Air National Guard Base in Meridian, Mississippi.

The facility supports the primary flying mission of the 186th ARW to provide aerial refueling capability to the US Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and other allied nation aircraft. The 186th ARW has excelled in this role for many years, and by providing this unique and critical capability, it supports the Air Force’s primary missions of Global Reach and Global Power.

AllenES is proud to support the US Air Force along with the US Air National Guard and their mission to protect and defend the United States or America.

Mississippi Department of Marine Resources: Coastal Mississippi Sustainable Development and Resilience Project

AllenES developed the Sustainable Development and Smart Growth Initiative for the Six Coastal Counties of Mississippi. The Sustainable Development and Smart Growth Initiative for the Six Coastal Counties of Mississippi involved the development of four separate and distinct projects:

  1. The development of a comprehensive resources management plan;
  2. The development of a Sustainable Growth and Watershed Management Model;
  3. The development of a Six Coastal County Strategic and Smart Growth Toolbox; and
  4. The development of a conceptual plan for an exemplary coastal sustainable development.

The primary goal of this project was to create a comprehensive program designed to incorporate the principles of sustainability, smart growth and coastal resilience into the day to day public and private development activities that occur within the Mississippi Gulf Coast Region. The Toolbox focused on Smart Growth, Sustainable Development & Coastal Resilience and was organized according to five concepts based on Smart Growth Principles: Community Character; Growing Green; Transportation Choices; Policy in Practice; and Coastal Resiliency & Natural Hazards.

The project was uniquely reflective of the precious coastal resources and colorful characteristics of coastal Mississippi and encourages a sense of community by offering innovative best management practices. Thus providing a natural sense of place, increase community pride, and improve marketability.

The Smart Growth Project consisted of a modeling phase. The “Sustainable Growth and Watershed Management Model” for the Mississippi Gulf Coast is viewed as a decision-making tool designed to increase the level of awareness associated with watershed management and to assist elected officials and other community leaders in making informed decisions with respect to development activities. The model was developed using GIS technology to visually predict potential impacts associated with future developments and will take into account the interconnectedness of the coastal ecosystems and the many facets of a watershed system as a whole. The model is GIS based to utilize existing spatial data and to visualize data for informed decisions. The goals of the project were to encourage better selection of potential growth areas, to encourage better site design principles, to utilize existing resources, and to better manage and protect natural and cultural resources.

McComb Brownfields Assessment Grant Program: McComb, Mississippi

AllenES contracted with the City of McComb, Mississippi as the lead consultant for implementation of its Brownfields Assessment Grant Program. AllenES assisted the City with all aspects of their Brownfields program development and implementation.The McComb program focused primarily on downtown redevelopment opportunities as a means of breathing new life into Downtown McComb and providing the catalyst necessary to allow the City of McComb to realize its downtown revitalization goals and objectives.

AllenES led the City of McComb through community outreach processes including organization of the McComb Brownfields Advisory Team. The Advisory Team was citizen based and assisted the City and AllenES in site selection and review of assessment results. Through this project AllenES completed approximately 10 Phase I ESAs in McComb and three Phase II ESAs. The McComb Brownfields program ultimately resulted the pending establishment of two downtown community parks, and the revitalization of five downtown buildings through private investment; all resulting from the environmental investigation, redevelopment planning, and clean-up planning efforts from this project. The efforts of this project culminated with the implementation of a downtown revitalization charrette that spanned over three days and included the input of city staff and administration and several members of the general public.
