Utoy Creek WRC Influent Pump Station, Fulton County GA

MC Squared collects soil samples at Utoy Creek RFC

MC Squared is supporting Wade Trim and Fulton County in upgrading the influent pump station at the Utoy Creek Water Reclamation Center. MC Squared provides geotechnical engineering services throughout the design and early construction phases. Our team conducted site investigations to evaluate subsurface conditions, including soil behavior and groundwater levels, which are vital for planning stable, long-lasting foundation systems. We also assist with stakeholder coordination and provide geotechnical insights to help guide demolition planning and phased construction activities.

I-4 at SR 33 Interchange in Polk County, Florida

MC Squared Construction Services in Polk County

MC Squared is serving Lane Construction and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) as the Construction Support subcontractor for the I-4 and SR 33 Interchange Reconstruction project near Lakeland, Florida. The project will convert the existing traditional diamond interchange into a Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI), a design that reduces traffic conflict points and is expected to improve safety and operational efficiency for thousands of daily commuters.

Our team is providing field quality control, foundation inspection, laboratory testing, and engineering support throughout the construction phase. Field technicians and inspectors—certified through the American Concrete Institute (ACI) and FDOT’s Construction Training Qualification Program (CTQP)—are performing continuous on-site testing and verification of materials and structural elements. In these early phases, our scope includes oversight of auger cast pile installation for sound and noise walls, drilled shaft inspection, and laboratory testing of embankment, backfill, and concrete specimens in accordance with FDOT specifications.

We are also providing engineering services through a dedicated Quality Control Manager who is responsible for tracking laboratory data, coordinating with project stakeholders, and ensuring test results are entered into the FDOT Materials Acceptance and Certification (MAC) system. These services are critical to ensuring the integrity of the constructed elements and compliance with applicable standards as the project progresses.

Construction is anticipated to continue through 2025. As the interchange takes shape, MC Squared remains committed to delivering reliable, detail-oriented oversight in support of Lane Construction and FDOT’s shared goal: a safer, more efficient corridor for the surrounding community and the broader Central Florida region.

St. Petersburg Northwest Water Reclamation Facility

MC Squared provided Quality Control (QC) services for concrete testing as part of the St. Petersburg Northwest Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) Improvements project. Our team conducted field and laboratory testing to assess concrete strength, composition, and durability, ensuring compliance with project specifications. By delivering accurate and timely test reports, we supported construction progress and upheld the integrity of critical infrastructure.

Caloosahatchee River West Basin Storage Reservoir (C-43 WBSR)

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.

Snapfinger and Pole Bridge Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant Interplant Storage and Convergence Phases I & II, DeKalb County, Georgia

The tunnel itself is proposed to be approximately 5 miles long, have a 27-foot diameter, and have a storage volume of 88 million gallons. Tunnel horizon is to be located between 150 and 200 feet below ground surface. Apart from the tunnel itself, 50 million gallon per day influent lift stations will be located on either end at each wastewater treatment plant. The primary purpose of the investigation was to gather information that will serve as input and recommendations for the preferred tunnel alignment. MC2 evaluated and analyzed available geotechnical and hydro geological data and prepared a plan for additional drilling and testing. MC2 performed extensive soil drilling and rock coring along the proposed tunnel alignment. Using multiple drilling methods and drilling equipment, borings ranged from approximately 48 feet below ground surface to 275 feet below ground surface. We analyzed and logged all core data: including rock type, mineralogy, fracture type and degree, degree of weathering, Rock Quality Designation and Recovery Percentage. Rock core data, soils testing, depth to rock, and the continuous monitoring of the groundwater table allowed us to produce a detailed geologic map showing different lithologies and their connections, zones of fractured and week rock, and groundwater flow patterns. Other field tests performed included down-hole pressure testing in bedrock, falling head permeability tests, and geophysical testing in fractured problem areas to supplement drilling data. Laboratory testing of soils and bedrock samples included, but is not limited to, soil particle size analyses and % passing the 200 sieve, Liquid Limit and Plastic limit of soils, elastic moduli of intact rock core specimens, Brazilian tensile strength of rock core specimens, point load and compressive strength of intact rock core specimens at varying states of stress and temperature.  Finally, our experienced professional engineers evaluated all the field and lab data collected and produced a geotechnical exploration report summarizing the methods used, and data collected along with recommendations for tunnel construction and alignment.

Hartsfield Jackson Deicing Facility, Atlanta, Georgia

Provided Engineering Services and construction materials testing and inspection for the construction of an aircraft apron and supporting facilities to provide a minimum of five unobstructed narrow-body deicing positions on the north airfield with the capability of deicing ten aircraft per hour. The project includes approximately 580,000 square feet of new apron pavement, approximately 100,000 square feet of pavement repairs, demolition of existing utilities and construction of new utilities, a 1.5 M gallon underground storage vault for spent glycol run-off, product storage tanks for Type I and Type IV glycol and diesel fuel, heaters for water, pumping facilities, and truck loading and unloading stations.
