DAAR’s Eric Lindaas participated in the fourth annual Enduring Skills Weekend at the Historic Indian Agency House at Fort Winnebago in Portage. This hands-on event allows kids to be introduced to the skills needed to complete land survey and possibly lead to a career in the engineering field in the future. Eric presented 19th Century Land survey skills to the nearly 200 participants. The Wisconsin society of Land surveyors provided vintage equipment for Eric to use during his teaching. A fun and educational experience for teacher and students alike! Another example of DAAR team members engaging with the community to provide opportunities that will improve lives and our industry.

Through the use of drones, we can capture and deliver the most accurate LiDAR(light detection and ranging) practicable and have the ability to map up to 400 acres or 6 miles of roadway per day. DAAR’s LiDAR / photogrammetry drone experts work alongside private developers, utility corporations and state and local governments performing a range of services including: -topographic mapping, - highway/ bridge construction inspection and mapping,  - earth work quantities,  - forestry management mapping, - utility mapping,  - surveys - cell tower inspection mapping When you engage DAAR Engineering, Inc. to lead or assist on your project you can be assured that we will be using the latest tools and technologies to deliver your project accurately, on-time and on-budget.

Congratulations to Ethan Heroux on attaining his PE license! A monumental achievement!! Thank you for all your hard work and positive approach here at DAAR. Ethan has been an important part of the DAAR team bringing experience and a positive perspective to each project. He has been involved in a wide variety of design projects from scoping to environmental to final project deliverables. Outside of the office, Ethan loves cooking and taking hikes with his wife and their dog Bucky!

DAAR extends a warm welcome to our summer interns! They are already hard at work learning the ins and out of the engineering business. We look forward to seeing how their fresh perspective and new ideas bring value to the team here at DAAR.

Congratulations to DAAR’s Derrick Ballweg, Matt Horne, Casey Cullen, Nate Fehrman, Daulton Valleskey and Carter Messer on the successful completion of the Mauston Interchange project! The addition of roundabouts and installing protected left turn lanes has increased the capacity at the interchange and greatly improved the flow of traffic. In addition, pedestrian access was greatly improved due to the construction of multi-use paths along each side of STH82 along with improved visibility for all travelers. Among the challenges: -Construction of the temporary alignment in the median of existing IH90. The median was very narrow by today's standards, so the team had to build 3 bridge structures capable of passing 2 lanes of IH90 traffic all while the interstate remained safe and fully operational. Great job! -The conditions were so narrow and tight that the concrete finish machine had to be modified so as not to interfere with IH90 traffic when installing the concrete bridge decks for the temporary structures! Great work by the project team! Thank you to Wisconsin Department of Transportation for their faith in choosing DAAR to lead this project and to everyone involved in making this stretch of highway safer and more efficient for all Wisconsinites!!

Congratulations to Matt Horne on achieving his PE license! All of us at DAAR, thank you for your hard work and exceptional problem-solving skills. Matt has shown great versatility and has been a critical part in the success of both design and construction projects. He has expanded DAAR’s Land Development capabilities and successfully delivered several projects. Matt also helped deliver several municipal design projects expanding our diversity of work.
