Congratulations to Carolyn Kurtz!

The team at AR Engineering recently celebrated, as Carolyn Kurtz passed the PE exam! We surprised Carolyn with a few of her favorite items, including a breakfast bar in the morning. Her husband made a surprise visit in the afternoon and everyone snacked on her favorite candy (Peanut M&Ms) and her favorite dessert (chocolate chip cookies). She was given a gift certificate that she can hopefully enjoy sometime later this summer when she spends a day near the beach. Congratulations to Carolyn on this huge accomplishment!

Authentix Kalamazoo - Multi-Family Development

AR Engineering had the opportunity to partner with Continental Properties to bring their residential development to Kalamazoo, Michigan. AR Engineering provided surveying, civil design, inspection, and staking services. Authentix Kalamazoo will be a 240-unit multi-family development that will have a dog park, pet spa, maintenance garage, resort style swimming pool, and a 24 hour fitness center. Each building will contain studio units, as well as one, two, and three bedroom options. Located only a few minutes from downtown Kalamazoo and adjacent to I-94, this 20-acre development will provide residents easy access to all of the major businesses in the area. Continental Properties continuously works to improve their developments by updating their properties, as the dynamic of the resident changes. We cannot wait to see what else Continental brings to the Kalamazoo area!

Nuway Golf Outing

AR Engineering joined Nuway Construction at their second annual charity golf outing for The Post Youth Center of Goshen, Indiana on June 7th. We were excited to participate in the fun, and proud to support the center that provides a welcoming place for the youth of the community. The team consisted of Whitney Pizzala and Jason Raleigh of AR Engineering, and Tim Wall and John Skopec of Nuway Construction. We are looking forward to next year’s event!

Southwest MiSTEM - Growlers Game

A team from AR Engineering participated in Education Day at Homer Stryker Field, with Dustin Thornton, Rachel Knighton and Stephanie Putt arriving early to set-up for the day! Students from several local school districts arrived eager to explore various hands-on exhibits.  They were very interested in the sandcastle building activity provided by AR Engineering, which demonstrated mechanically stabilized earth (MSE), and couldn’t wait to dig in! Students were encouraged to build a non-MSE sandcastle and an MSE sandcastle, and then drop the hammer on both to see the difference in strength provided by the fabric reinforcement.  The morning activities wrapped up at 11 AM with everyone invited to attend the Growler’s game, where they beat the Battle Jacks 12-7.
