Dane County Regional Airport was working with an inadequateand inefficient snow removal equipment (SRE) facility. Thissituation created delays during snowstorms and prevented promptuse of SRE.

To improve/correct these concerns, Mead & Hunt designed abuilding that promoted centralization and sustainability. The designrequirements posed a challenge because of poorer than expectedsoil conditions. Mead & Hunt addressed this by using nearly 1,000helical pilings that secured the foundation in the soil Additionally,the operations of multiple buildings were consolidated into the

new facility to promote efficiency by easing the snow removal

process. The new facility also implemented a column supportsystem that allowed for the largest SREs to maneuver. Thesecentralization moves significantly reduced disruptions to the airportduring snowstorms.

The centralized facility was also designed to be environmentallyfriendly. The Dane County Regional Airport wanted any newdesign to meet LEED Silver standards. However, through theuse of a major solar array, the final building was able to achievea LEED Gold certification. When the solar panels were proposed,there was concern that reflectivity from the panels could interferewith airport operations. Mead & Hunt worked with the Federal

Aviation Authority to address these concerns and the conclusions

taken from this work helped to establish federal standards for theusage of solar arrays at airports.

As awards judge Mark Herr said: “This LEED Gold projectincludes photovoltaic panels that supply up to 50 percent of

the building’s electrical needs while establishing a national FAAsun glare panel reflection standard. Overcoming challengingsoil conditions, establishing oversized bay spacing for improvedsnow removal equipment flow and designing an attractive precastconcrete and masonry exterior skin contributed to make this anexceptional project.”

Mead & Hunt exceeded the goals of the client by providing a

building that facilitated prompt snow removal and achieved LEEDGold certification by setting the bar for the use of solar panels atairports.

The city of Dubuque was faced with an aging Water &Resource Recovery Centerthat could not keep pace with citygrowth or environmental standards. The restrict ions on the sizeof the site, as well as a strong commitment to a sustainabledesign, created significant design hurdles.

Strand Associates worked closely with the client to exceedthose hurdles. Through innovative design, the scale limitationson the site were addressed while still allowing the newfacility to meet environmental goals. Many of the productionmaterials were reused from the demolition of the old plant;

by recycling 98.6 percent of the materials, the construction

process prevented 24,133 tons of waste from being dumpedinto landfills. In the facility itself, old sludge incinerators thatused a lot of energy were replaced with anaerobic digestionand codigestion facilities that actually produce energy. Thesesystems were supplemented by other sustainable processesthat allowed the design of an administration building that usestreated wastewater to heat and cool the building.

All of these innovations provide impressive benefits. Thenew facility eliminates the equivalent of 4,715 metric tons ofcarbon dioxide annually that would otherwise be released intothe atmosphere. The design by Strand Associates created a

facility that will not only save over $600,000 annually compared

to the old facility, but will generate $240,000 in annual revenuefor Dubuque. The icing on the cake for the client is that theyexpect that the new plant will be electrically self-sufficient by2017.

“This project was an exemplary upgrade of a treatmentfacility. The public will benefit from this cleaner, low costoperation well into the future” commented Al Rommel, PE.

Strand Associates turned an old facility into a revenuegenerating resource for the City of Dubuque. The designing ofenergy-generating digesters provided environmental benefitsthat maximized savings and created fertilizers in a sustainable

facility, all of which benefit the environment. The obstacles setforth in the project were hurdled by innovation and a dedicatedfocus on sustainability.

The new facility transformed almost every part of the plant. The new clarifiers reduce maintenance requirements with innovative designs.

The Hoan Bridge in Milwaukee serves as both a city icon anda vital transportation link across the Milwaukee River. Becauseof its status as a key link in the state’s transportation network,there was both an urgent need to address structural issues withthe bridge and its approaches. However, there was also a needfor an intelligent design and construction process so that thepassage wouldn’t be shut down during the renovations becauseof its critical status as a transportation corridor.

A major challenge was to coordinate the wishes of themultiple stakeholders. Being a major transportation project, the

Wisconsin Department of Transportation was concerned with

a design that would last for a long time and handle volumes oftraffic expected to exceed the current load of 42,000 vehiclesper day. The city of Milwaukee wanted to ensure that an iconiclandmark was preserved and that public spaces near the bridgeremained accessible. Finally, the Wisconsin Department ofNatural Resources was concerned with roadway pollutants fromhighway runoff getting into the Milwaukee River.

Michael Baker’s innovative methodology helped to addressthese challenges. First, the use of LiDAR allowed the teamto make more accurate measurements and minimized waste.Stormwater quality best management practices minimized

the runoff impact to natural resources, marking a significant

improvement from the old structure. The use of movablebarriers facilitated traffic through the areas under constructionand a staged construction effort allowed continuous use of thebridge. In a first for Wisconsin, stainless steel reinforcement

was used which will decrease maintenance costs.Awards judge Terry Bay, PE commented: “Through the use

of multiple structural engineering technologies and techniques,this project captures the spirit of engineering innovation.The project stands out because of its complexities in projectconstruction and its dynamic approach to maintaining theaccessibility of a major transportation link.”

With innovative design solutions and a conscious focus onthe concerns of all of the organizations, Michael Baker was ableto deliver on its goal of giving the Hoan Bridge a new lease onlife and preserving the cultural and economic impacts of thetraffic corridor.

While dams might be of just passing interest to most people,they provide many recreational and environmental benefits. TheMontello Dam is different as it stands out as a local culturalmarker. It is also vital to wetlands, fish habitats and outdoorrecreation. However, the dam, originally constructed in 1855,required prompt intervention to preserve and, with the rightdesign team, enhance the dam.

Mead & Hunt delivered a final design that was able to meetall of the goals of the client. By using a vibrating beam slurrywall, a cut-off wall was installed next to a wetland to meet

environmental concerns. This was the first use of a vibrating

beam slurry wall in a Wisconsin dam and provided major costsavings for the project. Historical designs were reinforcedby using cast-in place concrete wi th a granite veneer whichallows the walls to withstand Wisconsin’s inevitable freeze andthaw cycles.

The stability of the dam was a major concern going into theproject. The old embankments did not have adequate slopestability and created a dangerous situation in the event offlooding. The design team provided that additional stability andcreated structures that allow fish and other wildlife to continueto use the waterway.

Awards judge Pat Trainer, JD praised the project, “Mead &

Hunt successfully utilized the vibrating beam slurry wall, thefirst application in Wisconsin, in installing the cut-off wall forthe Montello Dam Reconstruction project. This innovation,combined with an added fish passage, improved recreational

opportunities while preserving the look and function of thehistoric granite abutment walls, resulting in a functional andsustainable design.”

In a delicate balance between historical and environmentalconcerns and the necessity of stabilizing the dam, Mead & Huntprovided a design that was able to meet all of those challengeseffectively. The vibrating beam slurry wall lowered the cost and

the preservation of the historical features of the dam met localdesire for the dam to continue its role as a recreational andhistoric landmark.

The Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District has aimedto reduce waste and generate revenue during each of itsoperational expansion projects. The increasing population ofthe area, combined with new environmental standards, makeswastewater plant improvement a constant concern. The facility’sprevious designs were insufficient to achieve all of these goalsand a new design was necessary.

Applied Technologies began the project by looking at theissues with the old expansions. In the past, severe foaming andinsufficient heating shuttered the client’s attempts to produce

Class A biosolids. This class of biosolids means that the

materials can be used in commercial fertilizers, with the benefitof being able to sell these phosphorus-based products to awide market. The design team shifted the existing digestionsystem to a multi-stage acid process that eliminated many ofthe heating issues. In addition, the acid process created anenvironment of consistent temperatures that eliminated thefoaming that plagued the previous process.

To achieve the Class A designation necessary for wide saleof the waste products, Applied Technologies needed to reducestruvite scaling that would foul up the biosolids. The use ofvolatile fatty acids promotes the recovery of phosphorus which

is a critical component of the biosolids and reduces struvite.

Dan Talarczyk, PE, PLS commented, “This project innovated acutting edge process to recover phosphorus from wastewater,thereby transforming an undesirable nutrient pollutant intoa resource commodity with far-reaching implications in

sustainability and water reclamation. This project will undoubtedlyimprove the quality of life of the people in the region.”

Through innovative design, Applied Technologies was able toturn waste into revenue. The complete redesign of the previousdigestion system addressed the issues that had plagued thefacility in the past. The Class A designation was a major goal ofthe client and through the use of a multi-stage acid digestion

process, that goal was achieved and the district has a much-needed source of revenue from sales of its biosolids fertilizer.

Verona Road in Madison is a major corridor for local andregional traffic and it intersects with a state highway in acongested area of the city. This intersection was negativelyaffecting commuters and the businesses in the area soVerona Road was slated for major upgrades. However, thetight constraints of the area and the need to keep openingsfor local businesses meant that design decisions would playsignificantly into the ability for the client to meet the needs ofall stakeholders.

AECOM’s main issue in this reconstruction project was to

design a bridge that could meet the needs of the state highway

while allowing the deployment of a multi-lane roundaboutunderneath. The site limitations added to this challenge – theproject needed to be finished in one construction season, theproject needed to maintain access to local businesses and theroadway needed to stay open.

To address all of these issues, AECOM took an atypicalapproach. They provided a design that utilized twin steel plategirders that would be supported by Mechanical Stabilized Earthabutments. Finally, they used a 250 ton steel straddle bent pierthat would preserve visibility through the roundabout beneathwhile allowing traffic on the bridge above. These design features

meant that 43,000 vehicles a day could travel over the bridge

while traffic flow proceeded safely and efficiently underneath.Awards judge Errin Welty said of the project: “Heavy traffic

volumes and significant space constraints required a uniqueapproach to the Verona Road bridge design. This structure

successfully spanned a four lane roundabout and maintainsvisibility in the intersection while providing traffic circulation tonearby businesses.”

AECOM successfully navigated the multiple issues that camewith the renovation of Verona Road. By thinking outside the box,the design team was able to deliver a straddle bent span thatwould fully support the weight of the cars above while allowing

drivers to navigate the roundabout below without obstruction, allwhile minimizing disruptions to commuters and businesses.

Surveying efforts in Wisconsin have always been a haphazardeffort. Aerial imagery, LiDAR and other mapping projects were notunified and increased the cost of having to run multiple projectsover the same area. Additionally, different authorities, such asstate agencies, counties and municipal governments and private

organizations, would gather the same data for the same areaswithout sharing it. The patchwork nature of surveying increasedtime and costs and promoted factionalism and the evolution of

different sets of standards.Ayres Associates has been the leader of the Wisconsin

Regional Orthophotography Consortium (WROC) since 1995.They have taken up the challenge of developing a mappingprogram for use by the Consortium as well as processing the databrought in. They have even assisted with the logistics of fundingand flight patterns.

Members commit to sharing data and tailoring that data to meetthe needs of individual members. This is a collaborative approach

to a problem that sorely needed it. The coordination aspect alonesaves time by providing data that an individual member would havebeen forced to collect on their own. Collaboration also promotes

a unified set of standards that help all of the members to betterutilize the data available. Through this cooperation, more datathan before can be collected in a single season. In 2014-15,approximately 40,000 square miles of orthoimagery and 15,000square miles of LiDAR were obtained.

Awards judge Meg Galloway commented “The WisconsinRegional Orthophotography Consortium provides a highly efficient,collaborative and cost-effective means of obtaining aerial imagery,

LiDAR and other mapping data. The consortium allows eachpartner to receive the specific data to meet their needs. Thedata produced by the consortium is being used to help planning,designing or analyzing civil engineering projects across the state.”

Ayres Associates took the lead in establishing a service that

benefits a wide variety of stakeholders throughout Wisconsin.This cooperation has expanded dramatically since 1995 and thecollaboration will continue to save money and contribute to better

data for all partners.

The 6th Street transition allows users of the state trail to easily get to the road

level and further integrates the state trail into Milwaukee transportation systems.

6TH STREET BICYCLE RAMP ON THE HANK AARON STATE TRAIL ALFRED BENESCH & COMPANY Client: Wisconsin Department of Transportation | Owner: Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources | Category: Structural Systems

The Hank Aaron State Trail in downtown Milwaukee is asignificant achievement for the city. The trail runs through

many areas that were previously run-down or abandoned.Now, the trail provides access to Lake Michigan andprovides a quick route for cyclists and pedestrians. However,there are still many places where the trail has to navigatecity streets, with all of the various dangers that come frommotorized traffic crossing a major bike-ped route.

Alfred Benesch addressed this issue at the 6th StreetViaduct in an innovative way. There were major spaceconstraints due to the viaduct and the need to createa transition area that would facilitate both bicycles andpedestrians. Design features were also important to achievethe aesthetics that local stakeholders desired.

The project achieved the goal of providing a safetransition between the viaduct and the state trail byincorporating both an ADA-compliant bike ramp on one

portion and a stairway on another portion. The stairwayfeatures a bannister-like feature next to the steps that canbe utilized to roll a bicycle up, improving the dual use natureof the connection.

Alfred Benesch used innovative methods to overcomesignificant constrictions to the design. The design team’smethods also prove the importance of working with allstakeholders to adequately coordinate different prioritiesand provide a design that exceeds expectations.

Applied Tech



Biogas production from the engine generator keeps the generator running at

100% capacity and has made the plant energy neutral.

After construction, the road provides a beautiful path for Assembly Park and

design features keep stormwater runoff from dumping into nearby Delavan Lake.

ASSEMBLY PARK IMPROVEMENTSCOLLINS ENGINEERS INC. Client: Delavan Lake Assembly | Category: Water and Stormwater

Assembly Park is a community located on DelavanLake with 2.5 miles of privately owned roadways. The

deteriorating state of the roads was an issue in of itselfbut it was also causing increased stormwater runoff intoDelevan Lake which threatened its environmental stability. Inaddition, the roadway repairs needed to be performed withintight constraints from residences, landscape hazards andNative American burial grounds.

Collins Engineers successfully navigated these issues in aquick three month timeframe. The use of permeable paverswas necessary to address the stormwater runoff issuebecause there was no storm sewer collection and detentionsystem. Use of the permeable pavers was rendered moredifficult by unsuitable soil materials and steep slopes butthis innovative solution to runoff was made to work.

The design team also needed to work with a variety ofstakeholders. In particular, the Delavan Lake Assembly,

the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and theWisconsin Historical Society all had major interests inaspects of the project which made it diff icult to completewithin the time constraints. Collins Engineers worked closelyto satisfy each party and provide a much improved roadwayfor residents in Assembly Park.

The design team overcame challenges and providedroadway improvements that are unique to a road system ofthis size in Wisconsin. Runoff was significantly reduced andimportant historical spaces were preserved.

BREWING A BETTER FUTURE TOGETHERDONOHUE & ASSOCIATES INC. Client: City of Stevens Point | Category: Energy

To meet and exceed environmental standards, theStevens Point wastewater treatment plant set a goal to getto net-zero energy use. To do this, the plant needed to findnew efficiencies, however, waste from a local brewery wasconfounding their efforts.

Donohue & Associates designed a project that couldaddress the waste from the brewery with the ultimate goal ofachieving net-zero energy use. The first step was to designsystems that would reduce the amount of energy needed torun the facility. The plant achieved many of its energy-saving

goals and was able to put excess power back on the grid.However, the facility still needed a way to address the

strong waste from the brewery. The second step was todivert this waste into an anerobic digester designed to handlethis high-strength waste to minimize its impacts on the overallsystem. The close public-private cooperation between thebrewery and the client facilitated this achievement. Becauseof it, both the client and the brewery save $150,000 per year.

The design team created a two-part system that would beable to reduce energy costs and hurdle the main barrier tosustainability goals by separating the brewery waste. Bothparties have seen major cost reductions and can continue topartner together in the future.

The temporary bridge was necessary because allowed traffic to proceed as usual

while the permanent bridge was constructed.

The completed road provides bicycle and pedestrian accommodation and

effectively uses drainage solutions to avoid impacts to nearby wetlands.

CITY OF PORTAGE, EAST HAERTEL STREET COLUMBIA COUNTYJEWELL ASSOCIATES ENGINEERS INC. Client: City of Portage | Category: Transportation

East Haertel Street is a major traffic corridor in the cityof Portage. The road runs over marshlands and a reclaimed

landfill which created poor foundations for the road. Com-bined with general wear and tear and increased traffic, theroad was in significant need of repair in a quick fashion.

Jewell Associates worked closely with the city and WisconsinDepartment of Natural Resources to provide a quality designwhile preserving the marshlands and the historical landfillmarkers. In the past, those poor soils had contributed to a threefoot drop in a section of the street. By treating the soils beforeconstruction and the use of methods to deal with stormwater,the road’s foundations were strengthened. The design teamadded necessary bicycle and pedestrian accommodations to thecorridor which enhanced safety and expanded the usability ofthe road for multimodal traffic. Finally, the design team workedwith expansion in mind – it is expected that the area will turn intoa more urban landscape. Additional stormwater enhancementsallow the road to accommodate that growth.

The road was fully repaired and expanded to accommodatemultimodal traffic. The issues that had plagued the corridor in thepast were dealt with effectively and in partnership with multiplestakeholders. Jewell Associates provided the city with a designthat protected the past while looking forward to the future.

CTH CC BRIDGE OVER THE CHIPPEWA FLOWAGESHORT ELLIOTT HENDRICKSON INC. Client: Sawyer County Highway Department | Category: Structural Systems

The County Trunk Highway (CTH) CC Bridge was afailing bridge. It had been buffeted by Wisconsin’s freeze-thaw cycles and experienced increasing strain from carrying600 vehicles a day. Unfortunately, this bridge was essentialand the only detour was 28 miles away.

Short Elliott Hendrickson was called in to address thedecaying situation of the bridge to find a way to keep the bridgeopen during reconstruction. Keeping the passage open wasvital for emergency services, tourism and the local Lac CourteOreilles Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe tribe who owned most

of the nearby land. The design team used a temporary bypassbridge to keep the passage open during construction. Thisbypass bridge was a major undertaking – the bridge had to bestable for the traffic load expected through half a year of use.

Environmental and tourism concerns were paramount. Thebypass bridge was designed to withstand impact with floatingislands and to not greatly disturb the Chippewa Flowage.The bypass bridge also had to accommodate boat trafficunderneath which necessitated a more sophisticated design.

Precise timing, cost awareness and superior designallowed this project to be accomplished. All stakeholderswere satisfied with the temporary bypass and the new CTHCC Bridge can now provide safe transit for drivers.

ECOLOGICAL PUMP STATION & CONVEYANCE DESIGN

AECOM TECHNICAL SERVICES INC. Client: Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District | Category: Water & Stormwater

The Madison Metropolitan Sewerage District services a177 square mile area which holds a significant portion of

Wisconsin’s population. The primary conveyance systemis already working near capacity and actually worksovercapacity during wet weather. This meant that a newconveyance design was needed and a new pump stationwas designed to handle the increased capacity.

AECOM devised a solution that just went beyond theclient’s stated goals of increased capacity and reliability.Through the use of trenchless technology and micro-tunneling, the project avoided disrupting transportationcorridors that ran above the pipes. Additionally, thesemethods minimized cost. The new pump station wasdesigned to provide redundant support in the case ofemergencies and utilized natural light to decrease the needfor electrical energy. Additionally, a green roof was put onthe pump station which adds aesthetics, sustainability and

cost savings to the facility.Cost goals were also tight because of the potential disruptionsto communities and the need to stay within municipal budgets.The cost goals were achieved through the use of recycledbuilding materials which also increased sustainability.

The design team provided a project that was an absolutenecessity for the communities being served. The new conveyancedesign and pump station will be able to provide top-flight servicesand will absorb the increasing population of the region.

redesigned to provide more extensive coverage for emergency services.

GENERAL MITCHELL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AIRFIELD SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS

MEAD & HUNT INC. Client: General Mitchell International Airport | Category: Transportation

Because of its status as the largest airport in Wisconsinand its reliever status for Chicago airports, General Mitchell

International Airport (GMIA) is growing quickly. However, withthat growth comes the need for new safety measures andnew initiatives to comply with Federal Aviation Administrationstandards.

Mead & Hunt worked with GMIA to provide multiple designsthat could meet the flexibility needs of the project. Much of thework was staggered over multiple years because the facilitiesneeded to stay open and to receive federal funding grants.The complex, multi-stage project also included environmentalassessments and an overall feasibility study.

With the focus on safety, the plan was to improve therunway safety area that provides extra space for aircraft if theyovershoot or undershoot the runway. While there were spaceconstraints because of the airport’s location in an urban area,these safety zones were expanded and brought into compliancewith national standards.

The existing safety road was lengthened to complete a fullloop around the airport. This was important so that maintenanceand emergency vehicles could move swiftly without having todetour onto other roads or taking risky shortcuts.

GMIA is a source of significant pride for the state and needsto have safety measures that meet federal standards. The Mead& Hunt design team worked to provide flexible plans for multiplecontingencies with a focus on safety.

GENERAL MITCHELL INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT BAGGAGE SCREENING IMPROVEMENTSGRAEF Client: General Mitchell International Airport | Category: Special Projects

With increasing volumes of traffic combined with heightenedsecurity measures since September 11, baggage handlingissues are acute at General Mitchell International Airport(GMIA). Inefficient and ad-hoc methods were being used to dealwith baggage and a new facility and procedure are necessary.

GRAEF’s first task was to coordinate a complex group ofstakeholders, including the facility owners, various airlines andfederal agencies. All parties brought their own wish lists to thetable and the design team was able to provide designs thatsatisfied all parties.

The project successfully upgraded the existing baggage

screening system and moved the process to an addition to thefacility. The new addition was necessary to accommodate newscreening machines that can handle up to 750 bags per hour withlimited human oversight. This timeliness is especially important in anairport when baggage loading windows are measured in minutes.

The additional structure navigated tricky engineering issues.The building allowed for tug passage and kept an existingtug tunnel open. The girder support system was designed tomaximize conveyor flexibility and provided for the necessarysecurity protocols.

Through a complex design process, both in navigatingstakeholder needs and creating the actual facility, the designteam was able to address the issues plaguing baggage handlingat GMIA. The new machines maintain security while allowing forquick processing and future growth of the airport.

A widely expanded path, lighting improvements and fences that evoke waves on

the lake were all part of the design.

The new split diamond interchange sustains a brisk traffic flow while design

changes to the nearby roads preserve access to businesses.

I-94/WIS 50 INTERCHANGER.A. SMITH NATIONAL INC. Client: Wisconsin Department of Transportation | Category: Transportation

The interchange of I-94 and WIS 50 in Kenosha Countywas widely known as a source of frustration to motorists. As

the key access point between the interstate and the city ofKenosha, delays and car crashes were regular occurrences.This interchange was a key target for reconstruction to facilitateincreasing demand and increase safety.

R.A. Smith National provided a design that utilized a uniqueand innovative split diamond interchange configuration. Splitdiamonds are increasingly used to accommodate more traffic inrestricted spaces. As part of this, a new grade separation wasimplemented by raising I-94 fifteen feet and the intersectionwas expanded to provide for the appropriate street lanes andtraffic flow. WIS 50 was widened to six lanes which allowed forturn lanes and increased traffic flow. The new design meansthat the interchange can handle up to 180,000 vehicles a day,40,000 more than current.

The design team also rolled out a detailed staging schedulewith traffic control plans necessary for rolling out an extensivereconstruction. These plans allowed the interchange to stayopen along with access to local businesses. This staging builtsignificant public support for the project.

A stressed, unsafe, old interchange was converted into amodel design through careful planning and innovative use ofthe split diamond configuration. This project demonstrates thatdetailed staging and construction can preserve the usefulnessof interchanges even during extensive reconstruction.

NORTH BEACH ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS ALONG WWTPCLARK DIETZ INC. Client: City of Port Washington | Category: Small Projects

Port Washington is a bustling town with excellentlakefront access to Lake Michigan. To emphasize that, thecity maintains a beach that has proven popular with localsand tourists. Unfortunately, this property is obscured by thecity’s wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Unappealingin itself, the plant’s perimeter prevented beachgoers fromeasily accessing the beach.

Clark Dietz was called in to address this problem andprovide an aesthetically pleasing, convenient walkway forpedestrians to get to the beach. The primary challenge was toaddress the WWTP’s perimeter fence. This extended into the

pathway that minimized its usage. The design team createda plan that would move the fence while still preserving thenecessary security for the plant. The ultimate result was anexpanded path that allowed for new use of lighting and animproved park area and aesthetics along the walkway. Inaddition, the wider path accommodates more people andprovides needed signs directing visitors to the beach.

As a city on Lake Michigan, the client needed toincorporate that identity with its business district anddowntown. The beach path was an essential part of thatplan, linking the harbor, downtown and beach areastogether. Thus, many stakeholders were involved in theplanning and design process for the beach path. The designteam successfully navigated the interests of different groupsto deliver an exemplary design.

With a new turf football field and track facilities, the new stadium is a model for

other high schools around the state.

OCONOMOWOC HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC FIELDS IMPROVEMENTSSHORT ELLIOTT HENDRICKSON INC. Client: Oconomowoc Area School District | Category: Special Projects

School districts face a difficult challenge when it comes tosports programs. They must balance the needs of different

schools and sports while keeping facilities up-to-date andcompetitive. The Oconomowoc Area School District facedthese issues – they needed to update their high schoolfootball field, track area and build a new soccer stadium.

Short Elliott Hendrickson proposed a design that wouldaccomplish those goals and accommodate the differentsports within a contiguous area. The final design provideda soccer stadium, baseball stadium, a new softball field anda total renovation of the football stadium to modernize theservices and provide a home for the track facilities. Thedesign team was able to accomplish this in three stages toavoid disruptions to the athletics teams using the fields.

The firm also went above and beyond to help withfundraising for the project. The team donated hours toattend public meetings and to gather donations. Besidesthe obvious advantage of providing money for the project,the goodwill generated by these acts created an air ofcommunity cooperation that gives Oconomowoc greaterpride in its athletic fields.

Engineering services were combined with publicengagement to create a project that was on-budget, a modelfor other facilities and ultimately achieved the client’s goal.The athletic fields are consolidated and meet a long termplanning goal of “Athletic Fields Forever.”

STORMWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES FOR UW-MADISONMEAD & HUNT INC. Client: University of Wisconsin - Madison | Category: Water & Stormwater

The University of Wisconsin – Madison does its part tohelp the community reduce phosphorus and other pollutantsrunning into local bodies of water. However, the universityhas a massive footprint and set a steep goal of reducingtotal suspended solids (TSS) by 40 percent. In addition,typical solutions would not maximize phosphorus removalwhich was a core component of the goal.

Mead & Hunt decided to take an innovative approach toreduce TSS and phosphorus. Through the use of four differentsoil mixes and a wet detention pond, these goals wereachieved. These innovations were also necessary because of

the constraints on the project created by spacing limitations,poor soils and sensitive biosystems. The design team createda system that is among the first of these projects in Wisconsin.Because of this, other projects will be able to draw on thelessons learned and utilize similar innovations.

In fact, the project exceeded the goals of reducing TSS by40 percent while effectively dealing with phosphorus as well.Even the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources hastaken notice and incorporated the information gained fromthis project into their guidelines. This will simplify the designprocess in the future.

This project is a clear example of the need forinnovation in engineering. Through unique uses of soils anddesign, the project exceeded standards and set the bar forfuture projects.

Befitting a water research center, the wavy design of the building mimics Lake

Michigan and accommodates scientific research.

Detailed work was necessary to connect the massive bridge sections which were

both curved and straight.

US-41/I-43 INTERCHANGE FLYOVER BRIDGES AECOM TECHNICAL SERVICES INC. Client: Wisconsin Department of Transportation | Category: Structural Systems

The aging US-41 corridor was become a major safetyconcern because of increasing volume and general wear

and tear. To address this, WisDOT created a $1 billionplan to reconstruct the whole corridor. The key holdup wasthe intersection of US-41 and I-43 near Green Bay – anyplan needed to renovate this area as well while holding toWisDOT’s goal of fixing US-41 without inflating costs.

AECOM successfully navigated these issues withunique designs. Some of the spans for the bridge werecurved and as long as 250 feet. Through the use of twinsteel tub girders, these spans were able to hold up tothe curvature while also providing the necessary designspecifications for safety and usability. Also, through theuse of Pile Dynamic Analyzer testing, the span was ableto use fewer support piles which lessened the concretefootprint of the bridge. A smaller concrete footprint helped

WisDOT lessen the damage to nearby wetlands as well.This was a unique idea that proved to be more accuratethan other methods.

Finally, some pilings were reused from previousprojects. This saved money and was an environmentallyaware move. The ultimate bridge design checked all thenecessary boxes and was only possible because of theinnovation of the engineering team and their use of uniquemethods and recycling.

UWM SCHOOL OF FRESHWATER SCIENCESGRAEF Client: Continuum Architects + Planners SC | Owner: Wisconsin Department of Administration | Category: Structural Systems

Milwaukee is quickly becoming known as a watertechnology center. Increasing demand for fresh watermeans that the world must learn how to conserve morewater while finding new ways to produce it. The Universityof Wisconsin – Milwaukee has made water studies a corediscipline and needed a structure that would highlightthe program’s importance. However, it needed to be asfunctional as it was aesthetically pleasing.

GRAEF provided a design that highlighted the school’scommitment to the new field. The building serves as anextension of the Great Lakes Research Facility and is the

first graduate school in the United States for the study offreshwater sciences. To meet the stringent needs of theresearch being constructed, specific vibration limits wereimposed. The design team met this challenge by the useof dampening mechanisms that would hush vibrationsfrom activity in the building and weather systems.

To pay homage to Lake Michigan, the building wasdesigned with a wavy pattern. This created designchallenges; however, the team was able to meet thoseissues by using sustainable materials. The use of theserecycled materials, along with other design innovations,provides the building with an LEED Silver Certification,a key goal of the university. The design team provided abuilding that was both beautiful and functional.
