DGL’s Traffic Engineer, Alex Weiss, EI, was out collecting Speed Study Data for a recent project! Our traffic engineers utilize various methods to collect data for traffic studies. Here, Alex is collecting speed data utilizing a radar gun. DGL has conducted numerous speed studies over the years. The speed of each passing vehicle is recorded by radar for an hour in each direction, typically during peak hour traffic. Speed data is needed for a variety of traffic analyses including speed zone studies.

DGL’s Nicholas Lake, PE, SI graduated from the Fulton Leadership University last night! This off-site leadership program provided valuable content, strong interaction and meaningful conversations for all participants. Nick, along with his fellow graduates, encountered innovative ideas and tools, as well as an expanded network.

Almost 113 years after the first engineer was licensed, we are proud to recognize our PEs and thank them for their commitment and dedication to such an honorable profession!

Our construction inspectors are working throughout Northwest Ohio to ensure our clients’ projects are continuing as planned and in accordance with requirements, standards and regulations. We are proud to be working with the City of Port Clinton again on the OTT-Jefferson Street Reconstruction project. This much-anticipated major downtown road reconstruction project is underway, despite the flooding that occurred last month. The City experienced record high Lake Erie water levels, which caused flooding in the area. However, our lead inspector, Matt Myers, reports the project is progressing well and remains on schedule. Major project completion is scheduled for mid-September 2020.
