After a large sinkhole developed on Sunny Isles Blvd, <br />MDWSD required the immediate mobilization and repair of their <br />critical force -main out of the beach. Work was completed ahead of <br />schedule and with minimal impact to traffic. <br />Turnpike and Sunrise Boulevard Crossings - Plantation, FL <br />In-house design build of three critical directional drills required by the <br />turnpike to relocate the city's water main within six months. The <br />project required quick turnaround of design, permits and construction. <br />Mr. Castillo anticipated all the delays and circumvented the typical <br />red tape delivering the project ahead of schedule and on budget. <br />Northeast 6" Avenue Drainage - Oakland Pork, FL <br />Over 2,600 feet of 4x6 box culvert. Original design called for the <br />box culvert to be installed vertically, which would have resulted in <br />major utility support and massive de- watering. Mr. Castillo succeeded <br />in convincing the engineer, the city, and the county to revise the <br />design to horizontal installation, thereby saving time and impact to <br />the residents <br />Broadview Park BPI - Broward County, FL <br />Installed 105,000 feet of 8' -12" ductile iron water main and 16' <br />transmission main through a neighborhood of over 2,000 homes. <br />The scope of this work included water services, fire hydrants, large <br />meter vaults, a major road crossing, insertion valves on existing <br />mains, private property water service connections, and restoration. <br />Nautilus, Neighborhood #7 Rightof -Way - Miami Beach, FL <br />Installed new 8' water main and connecting homes in front and rear, <br />drainage improvements including over 250 structures, 18,000 feet of <br />drainage pipe, and six pump stations as well as lighting, landscape, <br />and hardscope improvements. Construction had to contend with <br />accommodating residents and working around two schools and a <br />hospital. Close coordination with homeowners, schools, businesses, <br />and public transportation was essential. The overall approach to the <br />project was to provide quality improvements with minimal impact to <br />residents. <br />St. George East - Broward County, FL <br />Project consisted of complete R/W improvements including sanitary <br />sewers, water mains, drainage, Swale reconstruction, new curbs, <br />sidewalks, driveways, landscaping irrigation, and road <br />reconstruction. This project encompassed a school, park, and a <br />church requiring site specific MOT and the protection of school <br />children. We routinely coordinated work through the homeowners <br />association and attended various homeowner meetings. The Owner <br />also added $3 million worth of 20' water main extension and <br />directional drill. <br />1 32 <br />
