Congratulations to our very own Luke L. on completing his Civil Engineering Highway
Technology Associates degree at Gateway Technical College.

Luke has been a valued member of our survey crew, putting in the work both in the field and in the classroom to earn this degree. His program covered land survey fundamentals, highway design, drone surveying, cost estimating, and materials testing — all while contributing to real projects here at Cardinal.

"Luke is someone I know I can rely on. He stays on top of communication, keeps things
organized, and makes sure the details are handled," commented Natalie, administrative manager. We couldn't have said it better.

This degree sets Luke on a direct path toward professional land surveyor licensure in
Wisconsin, a goal he's working toward with purpose and focus. We're so proud of this
accomplishment and excited for what's ahead.

Congratulations, Luke, on a degree well earned!

This past week, two of our team members, Lawrence and Luke, traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah to attend the Carlson Go West 2026 User Conference.

From classroom sessions to hands-on application, they spent the week sharpening their skills in the latest Carlson software and surveying workflows, covering everything from network rover best practices to drone flight and staking.

Investing in our team means investing in the precision and quality we deliver to our clients every day. Proud to support our crew in growing their craft alongside some of the best professionals in the land surveying industry. Great work out there, Lawrence and Luke! 🎉

A Wet Weather PSA from your favorite Walworth County Civil Engineers!

We’ve had a saturated few days. While the rain forecast for this afternoon has dialed back, we aren't out of the woods. With the ground already “full,” any new rain will immediately become runoff instead of soaking in.

The Nerd-Speak: We are seeing significant “tailwater” issues across the county. When the creeks and rivers downstream are already flooded, it’s like a traffic jam—it pushes the water back up the line.

The Photo: This is a real example from today in Walworth County. This culvert is plugged, so the "headwater" is pooling. If we get more rain, it will overtop and flood the field (or a home site!) instead of continuing down the ditch.

How you can help:

Check your inlets: If you have grated structures or culvert pipes on your property, please ensure they are clear of debris.

Clear the path: If water can’t get into the system, it can’t get out to our local creeks and rivers.

Stay dry, stay safe, and let’s keep that water moving!

Good engineering starts long before construction begins.

Before a project ever breaks ground, there’s a lot happening behind the scenes.

Survey data, site planning, coordination, and engineering design all work together to ensure projects move forward efficiently and accurately.

At Cardinal Engineering, our team works through every step of the process to help projects succeed from start to finish.
