Out in the field, ticks are not a minor nuisance — they’re a serious and growing health risk for anyone working outdoors. That’s why tick awareness training is a non-negotiable part of our work. 🌲

Recently, our field teams learned how to identify ticks, avoid high-risk areas, use proper PPE and perform thorough checks and safe removal after every shift. Prevention and early detection protect our team so we can focus on delivering precise, reliable data for our clients.

This is the standard of safety you can expect here: we take care of each other so we can take care of the project.

What a great few days at The Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) Missouri River Joint Engineering Training Symposium (JETS) here in Omaha! 🤝

Mat and Pat represented R.W. at the booth, where we had the chance to connect with government officials, engineers and contractors from across the region. We also got to show off some of the technology we use every day, including our Apache sonar boat, FreeFly Astro drone and Trimble LiDAR scanner.

Among the highlights was a keynote presentation from a retired firefighter who was trapped in the World Trade Center on 9/11. This was a powerful reminder of why the work we do in building safe and resilient communities matters so much.

Proud to support HDR on trail improvements along Thompson Creek in La Vista, near 72nd & Giles. 🌲

Steep terrain and busy roads called for a smarter approach. Aerial LiDAR allows us to capture detailed data in wooded areas without entering private yards or disrupting residents. At the 72nd Street crossing, mobile mapping kept our crew safe and out of traffic while the project kept moving.

The result: accurate, high-quality data that supports better design and a safer, more connected trail network.

We wrapped up our annual RW "Fore" the Long Weekend Golf Tournament. It's always a great time with the team outside of the office or field. ⛳️

Congratulations to our tournament winners: Mat, Shawn, Brian and Mike! Enjoy the bragging rights until next year. And a shoutout to Ryan for scoring closest to the pin!

Our team came together for a Pre-Memorial Day BBQ with good food and even better company. A big thanks to our grill master, Ed, for keeping everyone fed, rain or shine! 🍗

But we never forget why we celebrate: to honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to this country. We're grateful for their sacrifice and the freedom it protects.

We hope you had a great Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

This is what bathymetric surveying looks like in the field. 🌊

From wide open water to narrow creek channels, our equipment captures high-resolution 3D data beneath the surface in real time. Fast, precise and built for the waterways we work with every day.

See it in action here:

R.W. is changing the mapping game again with the all new CH Nav Apache3 Pro, a tool being used to map below the surface of the water in lakes, ponds, streams...

Help us welcome Ben Nelson to the R.W. team! 👏

Ben joins us as our Des Moines Office Lead with a strong growth mindset and a drive to keep learning, a perfect fit around here.

Outside of work, you'll find Ben hunting, playing disc golf, or spending time with friends. Special congratulations are also in order, as Ben recently tied the knot on April 25th! 🎉

We're excited to have you, Ben, and to keep growing our Iowa presence together.

Work on the Omaha Streetcar project is moving forward, and so is the need for consistent, reliable data.

We're continuing to review and confirm earlier survey data, helping verify elevations as construction advances. Our crews are active in the field, ensuring every phase of construction has a solid foundation to build on.

That steady, detail-driven approach is what keeps complex projects like this moving in the right direction.

We took the plunge into bathymetric surveying with the help of some new tech. 🌊

Before modern tools, underwater surveying meant dropping weighted lines to estimate depth. Today, our new bathymetric surveying equipment delivers fast, high-resolution 3D mapping of what lies beneath in rivers, lakes and reservoirs.

This technology gives our customers accurate depth measurements and detailed underwater terrain profiles to:

• Design safer bridges, docks and pipelines
• Plan more efficient construction around waterways
• Protect critical infrastructure from erosion and flood risk
• Make data-driven decisions that build more resilient communities

At R.W. Engineering & Surveying, we discover what's beneath the surface so you can plan what's possible.

National Construction Safety Week is a reminder of something we practice every day: we live and breathe safety. 🦺

We hold weekly safety briefs so everyone understands the plan, the risks and the controls in place. From high-visibility vests and hard hats to boots, gloves and safety glasses, the right PPE is non-negotiable. It’s the foundation for getting every team member home safely.

For our partners in construction, development and engineering, safety isn't just a box to check; it's a standard we set together in all of the work we do.
