Georgia Power Project – Bridge Foundation Investigation, Bartow County, Georgia

The project consisted of the design of two (2) new bridges over Euharlee Creek in Bartow County, Georgia, which is known to be prone to sinkhole development. We performed geotechnical investigations and foundation engineering recommendations for the deep foundation system for the project. We performed Geophysical study including Electrical Resistivity Survey at the site which confirmed that several Karst anomalies existed. We provided remediation plan consisting of grout injection. Our foundation recommendations included H-piles. Geophysical testing, minimum pile tip elevation based on compression/tension and pile installation criteria. We provided quality control inspection and testing for the entire duration of the project.

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.

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.

I-75 Interchange Improvements, Manatee and Sarasota Counties, Florida

Provided subsurface investigations, testing and foundation recommendations and associated reports for the modification of two interchanges (I-75 and Fruitville RD and I-75 and University Parkway). The project included ramp modifications, drainage, overhead lighting and signalization. The work was performed for FDOT District 1.
