Mr. Donnell is a third-generation civil engineer in the Big Horn Basin.
George Donnell, his grandfather, started Bell & Donnell with Howard Bell

Donnell & Allred, Inc. since moving back to Wyoming from Alaska in 1986.
He became President of Donnell & Allred, Inc. in 1995 and has been the
City of Worlands engineer since that time. His background at the University
of Alaska provides a strong technical expertise in cold weather engineering
problems typical in Wyoming such as frost heaving, and how to effectively
deal with them. Projects he has designed and supervised include roads and
highways, complete water & sewer systems, structural design, dams,
irrigation and sanitary landfills.
Mr. Allreds background with the Wyoming Highway Department, the U.S. Forest
Service and as a math and science teacher provides a very broad base of
practical experience. He has been with Donnell & Allred, Inc. since 1976
and became a partner-owner in 1995. Mr. Allred is ultimately responsible for
all of the surveying activities. Licensed as a professional land surveyor in
1979 and as a professional civil engineer in 1983, he has worked on virtually
every type of project, from multi-million dollar pipelines and structures to
small municipal and urban systems projects. Mr. Allreds expertise as a land
surveyor provides our clients with efficient and timely surveys.
Since joining Donnell & Allred, Inc. in 2001, Mr. Anderson has worked
as a design engineer on almost every project the company has undertaken.
Mr. Andersons knowledge and expertise with computers, and the
Microstation and Geopak programs in particular, has been of great value
to our clients in providing cost-efficient designs. Mr. Anderson has five
years of experience as a structural engineer with Vulcraft in Denver. He
also interned early in his career as an engineering technician with the
Wyoming Department of Transportation. This array of experience allows Mr.
Anderson to provide time and money saving designs and services to our
clients.
Mr. Donnell has over 50 years experience in the design and construction
of successful civil engineering projects. He served as Washakie County
Engineer/Surveyor for 27 years; City Engineer for Worland for 29 years;

State Park; South Worland Water Users pump station, storage tank and

funding packages, working closely with local, state and federal entities
to make these projects happen. He is also considered one of Wyomings
foremost water rights experts.
