Civil Engineering across Wisconsin
Construction stormwater discharges are regulated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources through the Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WPDES) construction general permit. Connections to state highways require access permits from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation. Wisconsin has strong wetland and waterway protections, and earthwork is seasonally constrained by frozen ground and spring thaw conditions.
Engineering in Wisconsin is regulated by the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS), which credentials professional engineers. Firms offering engineering services to the public must hold a certificate of authorization. Engineers licensed in other states may apply for reciprocal licensure in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin enforces commercial building energy requirements through the Wisconsin Commercial Building Code, which is modeled on the International Energy Conservation Code and ASHRAE 90.1. The code sets standards for envelope insulation, mechanical efficiency, and lighting. Enforcement runs through the state's commercial plan review process and delegated municipal inspection agencies.
The Department of Safety and Professional Services reviews commercial building plans at the state level for many municipalities, while larger cities operate delegated plan review programs. Building permits are issued locally under the Wisconsin Commercial Building Code. Designers should verify whether a project falls under state or delegated municipal review early in the process.
