SR 951 Bridge @ Marco Island, Lee County, Florida

Provided geotechnical engineering on this project for the Florida Department of Transportation, District 1. The project involved the design of a new high level bridge, approximately 1500 feet in length. The work was performed for FDOT District 1.

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.

Bayshore Boulevard, Hillsborough County, Florida

Provided Geotechnical Engineering Recommendations and subsurface investigations including pavement evaluation of existing pavement conditions at selected locations along Bayshore Boulevard in Hillsborough County, Florida. The work was performed for the City of Tampa, 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.
