Access to grant funding can make or break important municipal projects. However, the grant application process can be complex and time consuming, especially when you’re dealing with increasingly limited resources. Join us for an interactive seminar on upcoming grant opportunities for your community. Learn about new funding options and the creative ways grants can help your team support your next project.
As the weather patterns from last summer and this spring have demonstrated, effective floodplain management is a vital component to making a community a great place to live, work, and play. Properly managed drainage systems, flood storage areas, and floodplains can promote economic development and be attractive public amenities. Poorly managed systems operate in an opposite manner, posing safety hazards and causing significant hardships to local residents and business owners.
Join experts from Wisconsin Emergency Management, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, and Ruekert & Mielke, Inc. as we discuss what we learned from the 2018 floods, how to efficiently navigate DNR’s floodplain approval process, and how to utilize technology to more efficiently manage this critical infrastructure.
Advances in wastewater treatment facility instrumentation can significantly improve your plant’s efficiency and reliability. Attend this seminar to learn about the latest instrumentation techniques and their benefits to your overall plant operations. This includes sludge blanket level indicators, total suspended solids meters, dissolved oxygen meters, ammonia and phosphorus meters, and oxidation-reduction potential meters.
Biosolids are another significant piece of the overall management of a wastewater treatment facility. Our experts will discuss liquids and cake management of biosolids, along with the different ways to thicken and dewater biosolids and the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
Technology advances in data collection methods, such as drones and 3D laser scanning, can significantly increase accuracy and efficiency. Having knowledge of the latest tools and technologies available allows you to confidently select the best tools and contractors for your municipal projects. In this hands-on seminar experts from Ruekert & Mielke, Inc. and Seiler Geospatial Division (Trimble) will discuss and demonstrate the latest equipment and technology available for collecting field data.
Viable road networks are crucial to the economic development of your community and your residents’ quality of life, as poorly maintained roads pose a safety hazard for drivers and can greatly increase vehicle repair costs. Join R/M experts as we discuss your yearly road ratings requirements, provide guidance on how to properly identify road deterioration, and discuss how to best maintain this critical infrastructure.
