“Because we think global, yet act local, the expansive services we have provided for completed projects in more than 60 countries around the world are the same services that our clients in North Dakota can expect from us. Continued from page 113 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. 114 The Official Publication of the North Dakota Association of Oil & Gas Producing Counties
“The association provides a vital communication channel to better understand the needs and topics of interest for our clients,” says Shoemaker. “Legislative updates during biannual sessions have also provided us with valuable information regarding rule-making that impacts our clients and communities.” Looking ahead, HDR sees a bright future for itself in North Dakota as the Bakken play only seems to be growing in terms of production. In HDR’s Bismarck office alone, the company expects to be reaching 70 employees over the next three years. Additionally, by 2017, HDR anticipates finishing design for more than $80 million in transportation infrastructure projects throughout the state. “We are growing,” says Shoemaker. “We’ve been here in North Dakota for over 40 years. We’re staying, and we’ll be here for the future. We appreciate what is unique about the state and that is what distinguishes us from the boom crowd.” FOR MORE INFORMATION Bismarck Offices 1611 East Century Avenue, Suite 302 Bismarck, ND 58503-0780 Tel: (701) 557-9701 Fax: (701) 557-9640 1640 East Capitol Avenue, Suite B Bismarck, ND 58501-5618 Tel: (701) 557-9601 Fax: (701) 557-9640 Fargo Office 118 North Broadway, Suite 704 Fargo, ND 58102-4948 Tel: (701) 552-9935 Fax: (701) 552-9953 BASIN BITS | Spring 2014 115
