It is gravely important that all City projects consider the impacts of SLR. SRS is currently working with the Miami-Dade County Parks Department on the Park and Boat Ramp improvements to Haulover Park to mitigate future SLR impacts. Additionally, As Civil Engineers, SRS’s experience with sustainable design has been mainly in the master planning of large land development projects, as well as our work as Engineers for local municipalities. Examples of our work experience consist of the planning and design of several large urban projects such as Kendall Commons (160 acres), Hialeah Palms (114 areas), and the master planning and study of the City of Hialeah’s newly Annexed Area (3 sq. miles). Our land development projects, being urban designed projects or traditional neighborhoods, incorporate elements of sustainable development and infrastructure. These incorporate pedestrian friendly and transportation-oriented developments, sustainable urban infrastructure, and new urbanism. Smart Growth is an urban planning and transportation theory that concentrates growth in the center of a city to avoid urban sprawl and advocate compact, transit-oriented development and walkable, bicycle-friendly land use, involving mixed-use development with a range of housing choices. New urbanism is a social and aesthetic urban design movement that emphasizes diversity of land use and population as well as walkable communities that inherently reduce the need for automotive travel. These developments similarly incorporate environmental and stormwater areas, such as green spaces, wetlands, tree preserves and stormwater management areas. Furthermore, SRS was contracted by the City of Hialeah to create a master plan for the water and sewer systems of the newly annexed area. This work encompassed the master planning and design of the main water, sewer pipelines, and regional sewer pump station. Due to water restrictions and limitations from the County’s water system, alternative systems were studied, with the use of fire wells, the construction of a new water treatment plant and the installation of reclaimed water systems. STAYING ON TIME AND WITHIN BUDGET SRS Engineering has worked on over 170 engineering projects in the past five years. These projects have consisted of roadways improvements, stormwater management and drainage projects, water and sewer pipelines and pump stations, municipal facilities and parks, stormwater master plans, educational facilities, and large private land development projects. Every project is unique and has had its own complexities, some are technically difficult, while others are environmentally challenging. Although these hurdles have presented themselves in the past, our team and staff are fully capable of evaluating the project and coming up with timely and budget friendly solutions. We account for and have extensive knowledge on processing plans through local regulatory agencies, obtaining approvals and permits. Every project is unique and what they all have in common, is that they are important to our clients, as well as to our team. Keeping these projects on schedule and within budget is of the utmost importance and requires the know-how, efficiency, a thorough understanding of the scope of the project, and most importantly the execution. Throughout our history these have been proven time and time again and remain as some of the leading factors of our success. 8
