Design Services
Alliance delivers civil engineering and design services tailored to federal sector projects, aligning with mission requirements, stakeholder priorities, and long-term sustainability. Our team provides full-site design solutions including utilities, drainage, stormwater, and transportation systems.
Overview
Results
Alliance has consistently delivered innovative, resilient, and cost-effective civil engineering solutions that stand up to the scrutiny of federal review processes and address the needs of diverse stakeholders:
Mission-Ready Infrastructure: We have designed roadways, utility systems, and stormwater facilities that directly support military training, healthcare delivery, administrative functions, and secure operations. These systems are engineered for reliability, redundancy, and maintainability to ensure operational continuity.
Sustainability and Compliance: Our projects integrate low-impact development practices, energy-efficient systems, and climate adaptation strategies, ensuring compliance with federal mandates such as Executive Orders on sustainability, UFC criteria, and state/local regulations.
Stakeholder Engagement: By engaging installation commanders, public works staff, and federal agency representatives early in the design process, we create solutions that balance mission requirements with budget, environmental, and community considerations.
Cost and Schedule Certainty: Alliance embeds cost engineers and schedulers within the design team to monitor budgets and milestones continuously, reducing rework and ensuring timely delivery of design submittals.
Federal Sector Experience: From new military facilities and VA campuses to complex site utility upgrades and secure federal compounds, our civil engineering services have successfully supported projects across CONUS and OCONUS, with construction values ranging from small-scale renovations to billion-dollar campus redevelopments.
Our results demonstrate that Alliance’s civil engineering and design services are more than technical solutions—they are strategic enablers that help our clients achieve their mission objectives while optimizing performance, cost, and long-term sustainability.

Naval Weapons Station (NAWS)
China Lake Recovery Effort
In support of the DoD and U.S. Navy, Alliance as a subcontractor to Jacobs Engineering, provided services for 12 Programming Documentation at Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, CA. In July 2019, Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake was hit by an earthquake that caused significant damage. Many facilities were rendered uninhabitable and unable to […]
Child Development Center Business Case Analysis
Alliance prepared a business case analysis for a child development center at the Washington Navy Yard. The Alliance Team developed a structured methodology that examined the financial implications, timeline for development, achievable capacity, and overall site suitability for a child development center. The report included life cycle cost analyses, concept drawings, 3D renderings, and GIS-developed […]
Department of Veterans Affairs Addition
Alliance provided support for renovation and new construction to the Department of Veterans Affairs facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The project included site visits, charrette planning, design development drawings, and a detailed cost estimate for the renovation and new construction.
Marine Barracks Communications Hub
Alliance supported the relocation and renovation of the Communications Hub at Marine Barracks Washington. The Alliance Team performed a risk analysis utilizing Crystal Ball, detailing the risk for cost overrun, an increase in labor for overtime and additional time on-site for the infrastructure modification, interior alterations to include architectural, electrical, telecommunication, mechanical, and fire protection […]
Controlled Humidity Warehouse at Kadena Air Base
The Alliance Team constructed a controlled humidity warehouse to support a scalable operation to deliver Joint Class VIIIA medical logistics support at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan. Primary facilities included: a warehouse with a 4-bay loading dock, administrative area, operations area, and storage section. Other supporting facilities include: a energy monitoring and control systems (EMCS), […]
Humphreys Engineer Center Master Plan
Humphreys Engineer Center is an Army installation located in Alexandria, Virginia, in the Washington DC metro area. Since its inception in 1971, the installation has directly supported the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers mission. With a potential increase in mission requirements, and ample space to accommodate new tenants, Humphreys Engineer Center is a prime candidate […]

This master plan aims on preparing Arlington National Cemetery for their future needs while […]
Bureau of Engraving and Printing Traffic Study
This project supports the Bureau of Engraving and Printing by conducting an independent traffic study along roadways providing access to a 104 acre plot of land located in Greenbelt, Maryland. The facility supports 1,200 employees, working three shifts: day, evening and overnight. The study assessed traffic at numerous key intersections, as well as the impact […]
VA Phlebotomy Lab and Corridor Renovation
The project consists of renovations to the existing clinical space, corridors, and adjacent spaces in Building 1E and a portion of Building 1W. The renovations will result in a new phlebotomy suite, clinical suite, main corridor, and call center. The project will be completed in phases and the total area of work is 21,450 square […]
Ordnance Magazines Naval Air Station
The Alliance Team developed Programming Documentation at Naval Station, Sigonella, Italy. This project developed MILCON programming documentation to construct six (6) magazines: four (4) standard Box Type-D Earth Covered Magazines (ECMs) and two (2) 7-Bar standard RC Box ECMs. The project also developed high-bay ammunition rework and overhauled the shop in support of ordnance operations.The […]
We provide a full suite of civil engineering and site design services—including grading, drainage, stormwater management, utility infrastructure, transportation networks, and sustainable site development—ensuring seamless integration of facilities with existing conditions and mission-critical operations. With expertise in federal compliance requirements, anti-terrorism/force protection (AT/FP) standards, low-impact development (LID), and climate resilience, we are able to design solutions that are not only functional but also adaptable to evolving environmental and operational needs.
Alliance’s design professionals take a holistic and interdisciplinary approach, collaborating across architecture, structural, mechanical, electrical, and cost engineering disciplines. This integrated process allows us to anticipate constructability issues, phase site development logically, and optimize both initial capital costs and long-term operations and maintenance.
