CIVIL: UTILITIES INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

PINECREST WATERMAIN & PLAN SYSTEM DESIGN
Pinecrest, Florida

This project included the design of over
27 milesof watermain to complete the
potable water system of the entire Village. 
The Master Plan was prepared that
included a computerized model of the entire system and public workshops and meetings were held to inform and educate the residents of the extensive work and cost involved in the project.  C3TS also prepared special taxing districts to better explain the finances of the project.

KEY BISCAYNE WATER, SEWER AND RECLAIMED WATER PROJECT
Key Biscayne, Florida

In June of 2007, the Village of Key Biscayne
broke ground on a Village-wide effort to construct sanitary sewer systems in all areas dependent on septic tanks for their sewage disposal.  Septic tank systems have been subject to chronic failure on Key Biscayne,
and have been identified as a potential source of pollution to Biscayne Bay. 

The Sewer Project involved the installation of 56,520 linear feet of sanitary sewer pipe,
165 sanitary sewer manholes, 2 new sewage pumping stations, and the upgrading of a third pumping station.  The project, the last section
of which was completed in June of 2010,
provides approximately 700 single family
homes with the ability to connect to the
public sewer system.  All areas of the Village are now either connected or have the
capability of doing so.  Within the newly sewered area, unless the home is sold, improvements are made exceeding 50% of the home’s value  or the existing septic tank fails, Miami-Dade County is allowing homeowners a 10-year period in which to hook up, but most are expected to do so well before then. 

Part of the project also involved the replacement
of 35,325 linear feet of old cement-asbestos water lines with new larger-diameter ductile iron pipes.  In addition, the project included the installation of approximately 9,000 linear feet of reclaimed water purple pipe.  This purple pipe system, when completed by Miami-Dade County, will provide highly treated reclaimed water to large commercial and institutional water users on the key for irrigation purposes.

SOUTH MIAMI WATERMAIN EXTENSIONS PHASE 1A
South Miami, Florida

C3TS was contracted to provide engineering services for the development of South Miami’s Watermain Extensions. The project consisted of the planning, design, permitting, and construction administration of approximately 4,360 linear feet of 8” DIP watermain to service various residential areas within the City of South Miami, on connecting streets between SW 67th Avenue and SW 69th Avenue and between SW 74th Street and SW 80th Street. The extension allowed Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department to expand their service area and provide high drinking water quality to more residents

SOUTH MIAMI WATERMAIN EXTENSIONS PHASE 1B
South Miami, Florida

This project consisted of the planning, design, permitting, and construction administration of approximately 2640 linear feet of 8” DIP watermain to service various residential areas within the City of South Miami between SW 65th Avenue and SW 68th Court and between SW 72nd Street and SW 80th Street. The extension allowed Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department to expand their service area and provide high drinking water quality to more residents.

HOMESTEAD AIR RESERVE PARK PHASE I
Homestead, Florida

C3TS was contracted by Miami-Dade Parks and Recreation Department to provide engineering services to Homestead Air Reserve Park. This project involved the master planning of water and sewer utilities to service 212 acres of park. The various facilities will be constructed in phases. The first phase of construction, completed in October of 2005, involved the design, permitting, and construction of over 4,000 linear feet of 12” and 16” watermain to service all future development phases of the park.  The portion of Phase I construction included a traffic circle, two soccer fields, two large parking lots, a restroom facility and a field center. Future construction phases include additional soccer fields, parking lots, ball fields, tennis courts, a water park, a skate park, parking lots, and on-site street improvements.

MEDLEY WATERMAIN EXTENSION
Medley, Florida

C3TS provided construction management services which consisted of the installation of approximately 1,500 linear feet of 16” D.I.P. water main with associated fire hydrants, water meters, fitting valves, service lines, site, fittings, and pavement restoration. The original contract sum was $276,430 and it took 43 days to complete. This project site was visited at least once on a daily basis and sometimes even twice. In addition to observing the on-going work, digital pictures were taken at almost every visit to record the project’s progress. These pictures were then printed, labeled and included as part of the Inspector’s Daily Construction Report. By performing regular field observations, effective communication was established between the Construction Administrators, Engineers, Contractor, and Owner.
