As part of TAI’s Boots on the Ground internship program, Patrick Connolly (Iowa State) and Payten Whitfield (Purdue) joined President Scott Trotter on-site at the City of Batavia Wastewater Treatment Facility. From observing major utility upgrades to inspecting 68-foot diameter clarifiers, the visit provided a firsthand look at how engineering plans come to life on a project.

Trotter Interns Kohl Winkle (Dayton) and Ben Hein (UW-Madison) were at the Spring Grove WWTP project site. As part of project data collection, they were trained to take measurements and evaluate key parts of the facility, including the UV disinfection system and trickling filters.
