Buildings
Transmission masts
Because Alleman is halfway between Des Moines and Ames , many radio and television stations broadcast their programs through towers in the parish area. Three transmission masts are among the tallest structures in the world and have heights of over 600 m. The lower airspace of the city is severed by numerous guy ropes, which endangers the navigation for small aircraft in this area. The antenna systems include:
- Local TV Iowa Tower Alleman , 609.6 m, built in 1972
- Des Moines Hearst-Argyle Television Tower Alleman , 609.6 m, built in 1974
- Saga Communications Tower Alleman , 469.1 m, built in 1982
- American Towers Tower Alleman , 609.3 m, built in 2001

Due to its central location and, for this area of Iowa, a relatively high altitude above sea level, Alleman has two Doppler radar systems . The systems belong to the television stations WHO-TV 13 and KCCI-TV 8. During a storm in July 2011, the radome of one system was torn from the structure.
