Pump Station 079, Pinellas County, Florida
Provided geotechnical engineering services for the proposed improvements associated with project identified as Pinellas County PS 079 Replacement.
MC Squared provides specialized geotechnical and materials testing services for water and wastewater infrastructure projects. Our expertise supports the development of reservoirs, treatment facilities, pump stations, and distribution systems, ensuring structural integrity and long-term performance under varying environmental conditions.
We prioritize cost-effective, sustainable solutions that enhance water quality, protect public health, and improve system reliability. Our team collaborates with municipalities, utilities, and engineering firms to optimize designs, mitigate risks, and support regulatory compliance throughout the project lifecycle.
Through advanced testing methodologies and a deep understanding of subsurface conditions, we help deliver resilient infrastructure that efficiently manages water resources and withstands future demand.
Provided geotechnical engineering services for the proposed improvements associated with project identified as Pinellas County PS 079 Replacement.
Provided subsurface investigations and associated foundation recommendations for the expansion of the facility from 6 to 12 MGD. Components of the project included new reclaimed water storage tanks, UV electrical building, new deep bed filters, three new clarifiers, 2 new oxidation ditches, new pump station, two (2) new flow meter assemblies and 3000 LF of new 20 inch pipeline including Horizontal Directional Drilling under an existing creek. Monitored installation of over 3400 pre-stressed concrete piles.
Provided geotechnical and foundation recommendations for the project vicinity, conduct soil drilling & make recommendations for the foundation design. Also, provided construction oversight, value engineering and inspection. Provided construction materials testing and inspection during Vibro-Replacement for the Biological Treatment and Effluent Pump Station Structures.
Developed by C-43 Water Management Builders for the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the C-43 West Basin Storage Reservoir is a 170,000-acre-foot infrastructure project designed to store excess freshwater from the Caloosahatchee River, stabilize salinity levels, and prevent algal blooms. MC Squared provided critical laboratory management, construction materials testing, and quality control, ensuring compliance with USACE standards. Our contributions—including testing 22 million cubic yards of embankment, 110,000 tons of soil-cement armoring, and 19 miles of soil-bentonite cutoff wall—have helped ensure the reservoir’s durability, reliability, and long-term impact on Florida’s water resources and communities.
Provided materials testing of soils, concrete and asphalt for this expansion project, which includes a new sodium hypochlorite storage and feed building, new chemical mixing station, reservoir flow control and metering station, yard piping and civil grading and paving.
Provided Geotechnical Engineering Recommendations and construction materials testing and inspection for the 100 acres natural effluent treatment facility. The project consists of building an impoundment (earthen dam) to treat wastewater.
