Tampa International Airport Phase 3 Warehouse

Provided geotechnical investigations and recommendations for a new 35,000 SF warehouse and associated support facilities including an outdoor storage area, parking areas and a stormwater retention pond.

Jameson Road Bridge Replacement, Hillsborough County, Florida

Provided subsurface investigations, testing and foundation recommendations and associated reports for the replacement of the Jamson Road Bridge over the Alafia River in Southeastern Hillsborough County. The work was performed for Hillsborough County, Florida.

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.

Jog Road Interchange at Florida’s Turnpike, Palm Beach County, Florida

Provided geotechnical engineering services on this project for the Florida Department of Transportation, Turnpike District. The project involves the design of a new Interchange at Jog Road and Florida’s Turnpike in Palm Beach County, Florida. The work was performed for FDOT Turnpike District.

SR 120 (Abbotts Bridge Road) City of Johns Creek, Fulton County, Georgia

Provided geotechnical services for the existing Pavement Evaluation and Design and Soil Survey along the roadway along SR 120, Abbotts Bridge Road, City of Johns Creek, Fulton County Georgia. The scope included coring of pavement along the project alignment, evaluation of the existing asphalt condition and thickness based on the cores taken, the analyses of existing base and/or subbase materials and performing pavement design for full depth replacement and overlay designs per GDOT requirements.
