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 comprehensive geotechnical explorations, seismic study, and foundations evaluations and recommendations. Our recommendations consisted of deep foundations and shallow mat foundations. The project is a seven
Provided comprehensive geotechnical engineering services for the Custer Avenue CSO Relief Storage Vault project which were performed in two Phases. We evaluated the soil conditions and groundwater levels at the site, and provided recommendations concerning site development and foundation design and construction recommendations for the proposed storage vault. The proposed vault is a new five (5) million gallon buried underground stormwater vault retention consisting of cast-in-place concrete with side walls, overflow weir and box culvert by-pass to storage vault. The foot print of the vault is 58,000 square feet, City of Atlanta, Georgia.
Provided subsurface investigations and associated recommendations for 2 new 800,000 gallon tanks, 1 new 250,000 gallon tank, an elevated walkway and miscellaneous site piping for the existing water treatment facility.
Served as the owner’s representative onsite as well as providing construction materials testing and inspection services, such as concrete and soils testing, and offsite lab concrete compression testing. Also provided remediation solutions associated with the removal and replacement of a 24” groundwater runoff drain pipe on the northside of the reservoir dam.
