South Florida Water Management District | Disctrictwide, Florida | 2008 - Ongoing
As the top ranked consultant with the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), BCI has provided technical support to District personnel with numerous dam related challenges.
Projects performed under this contract include:
- Investigation & design of various alternative methods of retrofi tting existing reservoirs to prevent wildlife entrapment during drawdown events
- Investigating the failure of slope armoring
- Technical review of various existing facilities to ensure compliance with State & Federal regulations
- Assisting with selecting potential reservoir sites
- Addressing potential seepage & stability problems with existing infrastructure
- Providing remedial alternatives for identifi ed problems
- Permitting assistance
- Hydrologic modeling
- Construction engineering, monitoring & inspections
- Implementation of monitoring programs
- Developing compliance criteria for dams
- Operation & maintenance/emergency action plans
- Technical evaluations
- Risk assessments
- Cost estimating
 BCI recently completed a scope of work under this contract which required staff to develop proprietary designs to assist with wildlife entrapment issues within armored reservoirs. BCI presented alternatives to District and USACE staff that alleviated the identifi ed problem while still maintaining the performance criteria of the reservoir.
Currently, BCI is working on a comprehensive review of 38 miles of earthen levees in Broward County for compliance with regulations from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
In addition, we have assisted the District and USACE in the design of submerged wave berms to dissipate wave energy and prevent overtopping, which will be applied to future reservoir projects in the District.
