Site / Civil Design

Our engineers support public and private design projects from concept to completion with sustainable practices and innovative solutions that can overcome even the most difficult project challenges.

We have experience designing and managing public construction projects at the local, county, regional, and state level. Our team of engineers are skilled in designing roadways, bridges, wastewater treatment plants, sanitary and watermain infrastructure projects, and more. We also assist municipalities in developing detailed capital improvement plans so they can accurately budget and plan for future projects.

Batterman also has a long resume of private design projects. Our team works closely with project stakeholders to create practical, cost-effective designs. Examples of projects we have worked on include the conversion of an old coal-powered power plant to a college student union and the rehabilitation and repurposing of a century-old foundry and fabrication plant to a multi-use commercial property that houses cutting-edge technology companies, a golf lab, and a YMCA.

Featured Projects

Aerial view of Delavan Lake sediment dewatering facility

Mound Road Sediment Dewatering Facility and Restoration

The Town of Delavan hired Batterman to work on the locally important project of improving the water quality of Delavan Lake, which involved dredging three sediment collection ponds and constructing a sediment dewatering facility.

US-12 & STH 11 Improvements (including stream realignments)

The US-12 and STH 11 improvements project involved resurfacing 7.25 miles of roadway, reconstructing the Sugar Creek Bridge and Bakers Creek box culvert, and upgrading the US-12 and County ES intersection with new traffic signals. The most complex aspect of this project was managing the realignment of two environmentally sensitive streams under challenging conditions and strict regulations.

County Trunk Highway T – LiDAR Survey

The steep slopes and dense vegetation surrounding this roadway posed significant challenges and safety concerns for the survey crew when using conventional methods. To address this concern, Batterman was asked to provide aerial survey assistance by leveraging LiDAR UAV technology.

Henry Dorrbaker’s Entertainment Lab

This project’s primary challenge was maximizing the outdoor entertainment space while maintaining a turnaround for traffic and fire trucks and effectively managing storm water. Through strategic planning, public engagement, and creative engineering led by Batterman, the project successfully navigated space constraints and environmental hurdles, helping this exciting addition to the downtown landscape to move forward.

500,000-Square-Foot Spec Warehouse

This project in the Gateway Business Park presented several challenges, including a significant grade change across the site, unique storm water routing requirements, poor soils, and existing infrastructure elements. Despite these challenges, the project stayed on its aggressive schedule, showcasing the importance of early due diligence and proactive problem-solving.

I-39 Reconstruction (STH 11 to USH 14)

This complex IH 39 expansion project involved reconstruction of the most urban section of the IH 39 corridor from STH 11 to USH 14. Key components of this complex staged project include twelve bridges, six MSE retaining walls, nine noise walls, major grading operations, four lanes of concrete pavement, and all new storm sewer.

County Highway H Reconstruction

This 0.8-mile reconstruction/perpetuation project includes geometric expansion and turn lane additions required for a 350,000 SF Kroger Distribution Center.

Delavan Tower Park

Project Description: Located in the heart of downtown Delevan, the site was constrained on all sides by a State Highway, residential houses, and downtown businesses. The City wanted to expand the park’s square footage to help establish the park as a central, community-defining, public, and event space.
