I-90 Bridge Rehabilitations
DAAR provided structure design services on three bridge overlays on I-90, one bridge overlay on an I-90 overpass, and one deck replacement on an I-90 overpass in La Crosse County, WI. The roadway design was performed by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Southwest Region. Close coordination with the region was required to ensure consistency in the project plans and construction documents.
US 12 Rehabilitation
Design services are being provided for the 10.5-mile rehabilitation of US 12 between Lake Geneva (WIS 50) and Elkhorn (WIS 67) in Walworth County, WI. In addition to the mainline resurfacing on US 12, the project will include work on numerous structures ranging from complete replacements to painting.
I-94 N-S Freeway: WIS 11 Interchange
As part of a joint venture (SE Design Works), DAAR prepared final structure plans for eight, single-span prestressed girder structures along I-94 and three, three-span prestressed girder structures at the WIS 11 Interchange in Racine County, WI. Also included was the design of two cantilever sign structures.
Photo Studio Office Building
The photo studio is a 107,000sf office/special use building located on a 7.1-acre property in a business park. The site included significant topography which made the earthwork and grading a challenge. An older regional stormwater pond did not provide enough management to account for the facility, thus supplemental stormwater was needed to compensate for the shortfall of the regional pond.
Arizona Federal Credit Union
The Arizona Federal Credit Union is a 5,200 sq ft. branch office located in a larger re-development known as Washington Park. The site was constrained by existing or proposed development very tightly on all sides which made many aspects of the site engineering a challenge. The City requirements for approvals for stormwater were unique in that 100% off the runoff generated was to be infiltrated through a series of retention ponds and injections wells.
Cambridge Commons, UWM
Cambridge Commons is a 700+ bed residence hall located on a 3.2-acre parcel of land in a tight urban setting. The site was originally a service station and truck terminal and thus a brownfield. Impacted soils needed to be managed on site, and DAAR completed a plan and earthwork calculations to properly place these soils. The site is also bounded by the Milwaukee River to the west.
Mount Tosa
Mount Tosa is a 430-unit multi-family development located at the extension of Walnut and 113th Streets. Multiple buildings with both public and private roadways and utility extensions were needed to develop the site. Both surface and underground parking were required to provide enough stalls for the density of the campus. The 19-acre site was formerly a quarry that was converted to a landfill and then reclaimed and converted to a clean earth landfill but was still considered a brownfield.
Rexcon
RexCon is an 11,000 square foot office and industrial facility which fabricates large scale concrete equipment. Significant outdoor staging areas for extra heavy equipment were included in the pavement design which included recycled asphalt. The 26-acre site possessed significant topography, which is not typical of large flat industrial sites, thus earthwork and final slopes were of high importance in the design.
WisDOT Communications Support
DAAR’s Communications Specialists work directly with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) Southeast Region’s Communications Manager to provide support for all public outreach activities. This includes the development of press releases; providing responses to media and legislative inquiries; writing, editing and developing graphics for internal and external publications; and regularly attending project meetings to help prepare and implement public involvement plans.
Asset Management-United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
DAAR provided Program and Construction Management support to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Gulf Region Division for the reconstruction of Iraq. The reconstruction effort involved 17 programs that accounted for over $14 billion in US funding of over 5,700 construction projects, along with non-construction services and equipment which spanned over 13 Ministries and other Iraqi government organizations.
Southeast Planning Unit (Wisconsin) Count Data Processing Support
Traffic Engineering services were provided for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation SE Region Planning Unit, who currently maintains a large set of traffic data that is regularly published for planning and project development purposes.
US 14 Wisconsin River Bridge
DAAR provided construction management for this 1.5-mile project which included the bridge replacement of an arch truss structure over the Wisconsin River in Sauk and Iowa counties, WI. The new structure is a 10-span precast concrete girder bridge supported on V-shaped piers with architecture formliner and concrete staining.
WIS 16 Urban Reconstruction
DAAR provided construction management services for the full urban reconstruction of 1.5 miles of WIS 16 (Wisconsin Avenue) in the City of Oconomowoc. All new concrete pavement, curb and gutter, storm sewer, and some sidewalk were replaced as part of this project. The concrete pavement won the State Regional Award. In addition to the roadway reconstruction work, the improvements included a new decorative bridge which won a Small Structures State Award. Innovative filtration devices were built as a means to clean storm water run-off destined for the Okauchee Lake.
US 10/WIS 441, I-41 Interchange Phase 1
DAAR was part of a four consultant team providing oversight on the staged construction of the first phase of construction for the completely redesigned WIS 441/I-41 system interchange and construction of the substructure work for the new 21-span concrete girder bridge and approaches over Little Lake Butte des Morts (B-70-403) in Winnebago County.
This project was awarded the 2019 Slag Cement Project of the Year award in the category of High Performance by The Slag Cement Association (SCA).
WIS 83 Reconstruction
DAAR is providing design services for a 1-mile urban reconstruct along WIS 83 from East Monroe Avenue to WIS 60, with intersection improvements at the East Monroe Avenue/WIS 83 intersection in Washington County, WI. This three-party contract between DAAR, The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT), and the City of Hartford is located in the historic district of the City of Hartford.
I-94 N-S Freeway: County KR Interchange
DAAR was selected to provide freeway design services for reconstruction of the I-94 and County KR interchange in Racine County, WI. This interchange was part of the 35-mile, I-94 North-South Freeway project from the Illinois State Line to the Mitchell Interchange in Milwaukee.
US 41 Corridor: Scheuring Road Interchange
As part of a design team, DAAR provided design services on this freeway expansion project. DAAR’s responsibilities included preliminary and final design of the County F (Scheuring Road) interchange. In addition to the interchange work, DAAR was responsible for 1.4 miles of the preliminary design of US 41 mainline.
I-94 N-S Freeway: Non-Interchange Segments
DAAR provided final design services for the non-interchange segments and the WIS 11 interchange, as part of the 35-mile reconstruction of I-94 from the Illinois State Line to the Mitchell Interchange in Milwaukee, WI. The project included reconstruction of approximately 7 miles of interstate, 17 miles of frontage road and 2 miles of side roads. In addition, final design of 13 bridges, numerous retaining walls, box culvert extensions and sign bridges were required.
WIS 167 and Country Airenue Drive Intersection
DAAR provided design services for the reconstruction of the WIS 167 (Mequon Road) and Country Aire Drive intersection in the Village of Germantown, WI. Traffic volumes on Mequon Road are increasing, in part due to development occurring along the corridor, resulting in potential safety concerns as Mequon Road lacks a raised median and dedicated left turn lanes at the intersection.
WIS 23 Reconstruction
Design services were provided for the 5-mile reconstruction of WIS 23, including improvements such as passing lanes, climbing lanes, auxiliary lanes at intersections, access roads and access control. An extensive deficiency analysis was completed for this roadway, identifying horizontal and vertical deficiencies and safety concerns.
