⛳ We had a great time yesterday at Better In Our Back Yard's 5th Annual Golf Scramble at the Cloquet Country Club!

AMI sponsored a hole at this year's event and enjoyed connecting with fellow Better In Our Backyard members throughout the day. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and played our game! 🏌️

AMI also hit the course alongside our team partners from for a fun day of golf and good company.

🛠️ Toolbox Thursday: What Is LiDAR?

LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) uses laser pulses to create highly detailed 3D maps of terrain and structures.

Engineers use LiDAR to quickly collect accurate elevation data for:

✅ Shorelines and beaches
✅ Transportation systems
✅ Construction sites
✅ Flood studies
✅ And more!

Millions of measurements can be collected in a fraction of the time required by traditional methods, improving both efficiency and accuracy. Pretty cool, right?

At AMI, good engineering starts with good data. LiDAR is just one of the many tools we use to support successful project outcomes.

🌴 From the Great Lakes to the Gulf Coast.

Our team recently spent time in Panama City, Florida, conducting an above-water baseline inspection of the Russell-Fields Pier, a 1,500-foot-long fixed pier structure. The work included documenting the condition of the pier's structural components and preparing a report to help guide future maintenance and management efforts.

Not a bad office for a couple of days.

| Saint Paul Port Authority Cemstone Dock Expansion - Saint Paul, MN

Today we're taking a look back at the SPPA Cemstone Dock Expansion at Barge Terminal #1, a project that increased the facility's ability to receive, store, and transfer cementitious materials while improving an important piece of waterfront infrastructure along the Mississippi River.

AMI provided project management, permitting, bidding assistance, and construction administration services throughout the project.

Some of the key project improvements included:
• New pile-supported concrete dock platform
• Breasting dolphins and fender systems
• Barge pulling equipment and dock crane
• Bulk material unloading equipment
• Three new material storage silos
• Material transfer equipment and facility upgrades

Beyond the physical improvements, our team coordinated permitting and regulatory approvals, developed bid documents to meet PDAP funding requirements, managed the public bidding process, and provided construction oversight through daily inspections, contractor coordination, progress reporting, and project closeout.

🐉As Barker's Island Marina comes alive for the 2026 Lake Superior Dragon Boats Festival, it's exciting to see so many people gathering along a waterfront that AMI has helped shape and improve for more than a decade.

Since 2010, AMI has partnered with the City of Superior on projects throughout the Barker’s Island Complex, including the marina, beach, trails, public facilities, and the historic ship museum.

Our 6.74-acre Beach Restoration Project improved water quality through enhanced stormwater management, native vegetation plantings, wetland restoration, pervious pavement, and other sustainable design features. We also designed new restroom facilities, pet waste stations, and additional garbage receptacles to support a cleaner, healthier shoreline experience.

At Barker’s Island Marina, AMI has provided planning, engineering, and construction management services for major facility upgrades, including dock improvements, utility upgrades, and slip reconfigurations. We also designed a travel lift containment system that helps prevent pollutants and invasive species from entering the harbor, supporting the marina’s participation in the Wisconsin Clean Marina Program.

Whether you're racing, cheering from the shoreline, or simply enjoying the day on the waterfront, the Dragon Boat Festival is a great reminder of everything Barker’s Island has to offer.

Good luck to all the teams competing this weekend!

What does engineering look like underwater? 🤿

This ROV inspection at Bde Maka Ska took us below the surface to inspect an equalization pipe and look for invasive zebra mussels. The fish seemed impressed with our ROV's maneuvering skills.🐟👀

Whether it's a diver behind the camera or a robotic ROV exploring hard-to-reach areas, our team uses a variety of tools to capture the information our clients need:

✨ Underwater cameras
✨ Sonar and 3D mapping technology
✨ Robotic ROVs
✨ Diver-mounted cameras

Sometimes the most important engineering work happens where no one can see it.

🏌️‍♂️ Chase and Garrett had an awesome time representing AMI at the Grain Elevator and Processing Society (GEAPS) Twin Ports Chapter Golf Scramble!

It was a great day to connect with others in the grain industry and support the mission of GEAPS: championing, connecting, and serving the global grain industry. Thank you to the Twin Ports Chapter for a fun day of networking, collaboration, and friendly competition on the course!

Happy National Lighthouse Day!

Today we're highlighting a project that helped protect a piece of Great Lakes history: the South Manitou Island Lighthouse Complex on Lake Michigan.

AMI provided engineering and surveying services for an emergency shoreline stabilization project at the site. Our team completed topographic and bathymetric surveys, side scan sonar investigations, wave modeling, and cost estimating to support the design and evaluation of shoreline protection measures. We also analyzed lake water levels, storm surge impacts, and wave conditions to help ensure the shoreline protection system could withstand the severe weather and high-water events that affect the area.

Projects like this help make sure these historic places can be enjoyed for generations to come.

Last week, our own Chase Dewhirst attended the American Great Lakes Ports Association (AGLPA) 2026 Annual Conference in Chicago. As the largest U.S.-based maritime event on the Great Lakes, the conference brought together more than 250 maritime leaders and industry professionals from across the Great Lakes region.

Between speakers, presentations, panel discussions, and conversations with industry peers, there was no shortage of opportunities to learn and connect.

Thank you to AGLPA for hosting another awesome conference!
