BCI assisted Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise with the planning of a 21-mile, limited access toll facility. We developed a design plan for the western segment of the parkway project to include comprehensive surface water hydrologic modeling; geotechnical evaluations; wetlands creation and/or enhancement of existing wetlands; and the creation and/or enhancement of upland habitat systems. 

BCI served as the environmental and geotechnical consultant for the Tampa-Hillsborough County Expressway Authority. BCI provided a variety of environmental services ranging from the initial identification and preliminary assessment of contaminated sites in and along the proposed roadway alignment to the management of assessment and remediation activities on sites within the final roadway corridor. Individual project tasks included the development of RFPs, contractor selection, preparation of site work plans, regulatory agency coordination, as well as project management review and oversight duties. Extensive assessment, remediation, and restoration work was completed prior to and during roadway construction.

BCI was retained by TBE Group and the City of Lakeland to provide a geotechnical assessment as part of an evaluation of one potential corridor for the proposed Edgewood Drive Extension in Lakeland, Florida. The purpose of the proposed extension is to provide a much needed east-west connection between Florida Avenue and Hardin Boulevard.

Curtis Peterson Park serves as a popular recreational facility for local residents as well as a host for several annual athletic tournaments. The park is located on previously mined phosphate land and fronts on Lake John.  Park design and construction were complicated by adverse conditions, such as peat depths in excess of 60 feet and being the receiving point for runoff of approximately 8,000-acres.  Because of soil stability conditions, a special geotextile foundation material was incorporated into the design to ensure stability for the entrance park road and parking area.

BCI is providing complete civil design and permitting for a 50 acre industrial park located in Haines City FL. The mini park is part of a larger industrial/commercial center known as the CR 544/SR17 Commerce Park. The park provides rail access and involves compliance with the City’s new land development code. All utilities, landscaping, and stormwater management facilities were master planned for the park. The project incorporates two additional industrial businesses and includes commercial lots fronting on CR 544.

The City of St. Cloud’s downtown residential area has a history of flooding. A stormwater master plan consisting of four phases was developed to help eliminate drainage problems in the area. The city also determined that in order to better serve the citizens of St. Cloud, the project would also include the design and replacement of all water and gravity sewer within the disturbed areas.
