2009

AESI would like to congratulate Matt Miller, Dave Baumgartern and Ryan Tuomisto on their recent promotions!

AESI would like to wish everyone a happy New Year!  2008 was an exciting year with our usual mix of residential development, schools projects, commercial development, and infrastructure work.

 

At the Kirkland office, there were several exciting things to share.  We were happy to welcome aboard Michael August as our GIS specialist.  Ryan Tuomisto has moved into a vital marketing and business development role. 

Matt Miller has hit the road with a presentation titled, “Case Study Review and Construction Methods for Permeable Pavement, Lakewood Crossing, Marysville, Washington,” as part of an LID technical workshop series sponsored by the WSU Pierce County Extension and the Puget Sound Partnership.  This has  already been given in Sequim and Bellingham in 2008, but you can still catch them in Lacey and Seattle in 2009.  

Curtis Koger and Scott Kindred have also been able to meet numerous clients for brownbag sessions on UIC wells and other LID techniques. Our Everett office continues its excellent service on the north end, with Chuck Lindsay at the helm.  Erin Nishikawa has stepped up to the plate and become the SMPS Secretary for 2008-2009.  Ed Garcia is serving as the Vice President for the Professional Consultants of Snohomish County (PCSC), who has been helping Snohomish County EDDS streamline their changes to the deviation process. 

Our Tacoma office has flourished under the guidance of Maire Thornton, with a good mix of private and public projects.  The south-end crew have gone the extra mile for our south-end and beyond clients.  We also welcomed aboard Milana Michalek to the Tacoma office in 2008. 

Notable AESI projects in 2008 include the Restaurant Depot project in South Seattle that included installation of over 2,039 rammed aggregate piers in high ground water using the Geopier’s Impact System; the Coast Crane project in South Seattle that used 273 driven steel piles over 100 feet long; and the West 8th Building that included 70‑foot-deep shoring. 

Looking forward to 2009, we see new challenges with the shifting economy and sidelining of projects.  Hopefully, we can all shake this off like we do with the mud on our boots.  AESI wishes all of the engineering, geology, and environmental community lots of success in 2009!

January 2008

Happy New Year! 

AESI celebrated its 25th Anniversary last year and looks forward to a great 2008.  We were excited to announce the opening of our Tacoma branch office, which opened its doors last June.  The Tacoma office is managed by Maire Thornton, Senior Engineer. 

AESI’s strong commitment to provide in-house professional development and continuing education to their staff manifested itself in the first of hopefully many AESI seminars at the Redhook Brewery on June 1, 2007.  This seminar titled “Quaternary Geology of the Central Puget Sound Lowland” was presented by UW’s Kathy Troost and Derek Booth.  The next day AESI staff and family went on the 10th annual Whidbey Island Field Trip led by Curtis Koger to take a firsthand look at the various sediments and faults exposed in the bluffs along the south end of the island.
