American Indian Hall

American Indian Hall Morrison-Maierle worked with ThinkOne, a local Bozeman architect, to perform the structural design and site civil design for this unique building located on the Malone Centennial Mall at MSU. This $20M, 31,000 sq. ft. building was funded through donor gifts. It is the first in Montana to obtain LEED Platinum v4 status (video below), earning all three points in the structural materials category plus one additional point for exemplary structural performance. The building system is a combination of wood and steel, and there were several unique architectural features including a curved monumental staircase, curved canopies, a drum room, and a 140 ft.Read More →

Concrete Repair and Rehabilitation Using Shotcrete

Concrete Repair and Rehabilitation Using Shotcrete By Michael Brennan, PE – Benjamin Franklin once wrote that “In this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.” In the world of structural engineering, it may be argued that concrete cracking and deterioration over time also fits into Franklin’s idiom. Fortunately, there are ways to repair, rehabilitate, and extend the functional life of this important building material using shotcrete. Shotcrete Repair and Rehabilitation In situations where large-scale repair of concrete is necessary and installation of formwork is either cost prohibitive or difficult, shotcrete offers an economical and effective solution. Shotcrete is comprised of cementitious products with aggregatesRead More →

Socially Distanced, But Not Socially Isolated: Managing a Remote Engineering Team

Socially Distanced, But Not Socially Isolated: Managing a Remote Engineering Team By Arian Bloomfield, PE, and Eric Webber, PE – Almost overnight, many companies have moved from collaborative office spaces to home offices located in basements, kitchen tables, and guest bedrooms. For companies that traditionally collaborate face to face with their teams, this can be a big shift. One would think, as stereotypically introverted engineers, we would prefer a dark, windowless room with a great internet connection and our calculators. At Morrison-Maierle, we have produced quite the opposite culture with well-lit, open seating plans to encourage collaboration with team members. We are proud to sayRead More →

Not Just Another Acronym: PFAS Gaining National Attention

Not Just Another Acronym: PFAS Gaining National Attention By Craig Nowak, PE You may recently have come across a new term in the news or water-related engineering periodicals. I admit that I hadn’t heard of this term until I read an article that further piqued my interest. If water plant operators, public works directors, city and county government officials and the general public (to name a few) haven’t heard about PFAS, you likely will soon. PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, have captured the attention of water industry regulators, municipalities and industry associations because of their potential adverse effects to health and environment. The AmericanRead More →

Morrison-Maierle Celebrates 75th Anniversary

Morrison-Maierle Celebrates 75th Anniversary Morrison-Maierle employee-owners will spend 2020 in celebration as January marks its year-long 75th anniversary. Founded in 1945 by John Morrison, Sr. and Joe Maierle, Morrison-Maierle has grown into a multi-discipline engineering firm focused on providing practical solutions and exceptional client service. When John and Joe first met in the Highway Department of the Montana Department of Transportation, Montana lacked interstates, bridges, and modern-day transportation systems. In many parts of the state, transportation was nothing more than single-lane, dirt roads. They wanted to help build a modern transportation infrastructure for the state. This original partnership blossomed into what Morrison-Maierle is today—a TopRead More →

Billings-Logan International Airport Storm Drainage System

Billings-Logan International Airport Storm Drainage System Billings-Logan International Airport hired Morrison-Maierle to come up with a solution that included a multi-phased project to better control the large storm water events on the airfield, detain the large volume of water in a new pond structure, and drain the ponds through an underground pipe — at a predetermined rate — to a nearby creek drainage. Phase 1 of this project included two, 48-inch tunnel bores that were installed under the main air carrier runway to alleviate mid-field ponding and water flowing over the runway during large storms. This also required the team to find a way to directionallyRead More →

Firm honored with three Montana ACEC Engineering Excellence Awards

Firm honored with three Montana ACEC Engineering Excellence Awards We are pleased to announce that three of our recent projects have won 2017 Engineering Excellence Awards from the Montana chapter of the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC). The awards were presented November 2, 2016, at the Joint Engineering Conference (JEC) in Helena, Montana. Morrison-Maierle’s Flower Creek Dam Improvements project took the top honors in the Water Resources Category. After significant review and study, the City of Libby determined that the existing 1940-era Flower Creek Dam was beyond repair. Morrison-Maierle determined the best solution was to build a completely different structure, a mass-concrete gravity dam.Read More →
