This week, Batterman volunteers were on hand at Riverside Park in Beloit to provide the heavy lifting and help "refresh" the well-loved Turtle Geoglyph. Artist Marina Lee first installed it in 2003 as part of the Riverfront improvements initiated by Beloit in 2000. This is the second time that team Batterman has assisted with refreshing the geoglyph, with the first refresh taking place in 2016.  Here is some background on this piece of public art and why the turtle design was commissioned: The Turtle Geoglyph is a ground sculpture meant to be viewed from a higher elevation. It's a walkable sculpture that references the area's history with turtles and the Ho-Chunk people. The Beloit College campus is home to a turtle-shaped mound, one of 20 built by Native Americans between 400 and 1200 AD. The mounds are thought to be burial sites and may contain human remains. The turtle mound inspired the college's symbol and unofficial mascot. The Ho-Chunk people had a large village in the area called Ke-Chunk, which means "turtle village" in English. The village was located near the Rock River and Turtle Creek confluence, close to the Illinois-Wisconsin state line.

A big shoutout to Batterman's engineers Paul Nelson and Lucas Hoerz for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend our booth at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Engineering & STEM career fair!

Yesterday was a very rewarding day for R.H. Batterman & Co., Inc.'s VP of Design, Todd Needham, and construction project manager, Ellyn Subak, as they had the opportunity to engage with the next generation of engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville career fair. This was especially meaningful as they are UWP alumni themselves! As a bonus, they had the pleasure of personally meeting Gavin Pinnow, one of the 2024-2025 R.H. Batterman-UWP Scholarship recipients. #FutureEngineers

LOTS OF PROGRESS to observe as the roads and buildings continue to take shape on the Kenosha Innovation Neighborhood site! The concrete paving crews have completed mainline paving with the machine and moved on to placing curbs and gutters and pouring the sidewalk aprons. Grading and landscaping crews continue to do their part as well. Less visible progress has also been made in the placement of street lighting conduits and fiber optic conduits.
