for communities throughout the state. The
following are just a few of the company’s hallmark
experiences that help to highlight its
commitment to the Bakken region.
As the lead for the Bakken Area Program
Management project, HDR executed work
by using a design-build model where environmental
compliance, engineering, land
acquisition and construction occur almost
simultaneously. Once completed, 165 miles
of new transmission, 300 to 500 miles of
distribution and nearly 30 substations will
be added to Mountrail-Williams Electric Cooperative’s
service area in support of growth
demand related to oil and gas development.
HDR completed the permitting, design
and construction management of a unit train
crude loading facility in the Bakken region.
The facility is served by Canadian Pacific
Railway and has been operational since 2011.
The facility has provided takeaway capacity
for Bakken crude oil.
The firm’s environmental scientists have
led the environmental and permitting process
for the Rugby Wind Farm, which has set the
standard for permit applications as one of the
first renewable energy generation projects of
its kind in the state of North Dakota.
A team of transportation engineers was
responsible for preparing an analysis that
considered rehabilitation of the old Memorial
Bridge in Bismarck, ND and provided
preliminary design of alternatives for new
structures. The resulting bridge is now an
iconic structure that provides a vital connection
between the cities of Bismarck and
Mandan, ND.
Working with Ritterbush-Ellig-Hulsing,
HDR designed the Bank of North Dakota
(BND) in Bismarck. The building is a result
of a collaborative process among various
groups and organizations to address the needs
of the bank, which has become a landmark
for the community adjacent to the iconic
Memorial Bridge.
As a primary team member of the Houston-Moore
Group, HDR’s engineering and
design services for the Fargo-Moorhead
Metropolitan Area Flood Risk Management
Project led the Diversion Authority to establish
permanent flood protection measures
along the Red River of the North to reduce
flood risk.
NDAOGPC, a vital
communication channel
HDR greatly values its membership
with the North Dakota Association of Oil
& Gas Producing Counties, and acknowledges
the many benefits that come from being
members—for both the company and
its clients.
