Did you know that many of the roads and bridges you travel every day aren’t new—but carefully restored and improved to keep them safe, efficient, and cost-effective? At Schemmer, we specialize in 3R Transportation Projects—Resurfacing, Restoration, and Rehabilitation—to extend the life of roadways, enhance safety, and reduce environmental impact. Take the Highway N-79 Agnew North and South project, where we improved nearly 8.5 miles of roadway, replaced outdated bridges, and ensured floodplain protection—all while saving taxpayer dollars. ? These projects may not always make headlines, but their impact on daily commutes, local businesses, and community safety is huge! ??

?? Fun Fact Friday! ?? Did you know that some steel bridges in the Midwest must be designed to handle movement from a 150-degree temperature range? ??? That extreme shift in temperature can cause structures to expand and contract significantly. To put it into perspective, a 150-degree temperature swing could cause the St. Louis Gateway Arch to change in height by 7.4 inches! ?? At Schemmer, our Bridge Engineers understand how temperature fluctuations, load demands, and environmental factors impact bridges. Whether you need a new bridge design, rehabilitation, or inspection, we’ve got you covered! ?? Have a bridge project in mind? Let’s connect!

?? Stormwater Retention vs. Detention – Do You Know the Difference? Stormwater management isn’t something most people think about—until heavy rain leads to flooded streets, eroded landscapes, or unexpected water damage. That’s where detention and retention basins come in, but do you know which one does what? Detention Basin ?? Temporarily stores stormwater. ?? Drains dry between storms. ?? Reduces flood risk by controlling water release. Retention Pond ?? Holds water permanently. ?? Improves water quality by filtering runoff. ?? Supports groundwater recharge and local ecosystems. Both are critical for protecting our communities, infrastructure, and environment. The right approach depends on site conditions, regulations, and long-term goals. At Schemmer, we design stormwater systems that balance function, sustainability, and aesthetics—helping communities stay safe while blending seamlessly into the environment. Which one do you see more often in your area?
