<br />Codrington Drive Roadway and Drainage Improvement – Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, FL
<br />Project Manager/Project Engineer. The planned project consisted of roadway and drainage improvements for 1,400 linear feet of
<br />Codrington Drive. This project was identified in the Town of Lauderdale-By-The-Sea’s 2020 Stormwater Master Plan Update as in
<br />need of drainage improvements to alleviate flooding. The planned drainage improvements include inlets and stormwater pipes.
<br />Replacement of an existing outfall pipe is also proposed with a larger steel pipe that will function with a future pump station proposed
<br />in the 20-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to mitigate sea level rise impacts. The road is proposed to be resurfaced and regraded
<br />to facilitate drainage runoff to inlets. An attempt to address flooding in backyards is also planned. The roadway design included
<br />speed humps and landscaping for traffic calming. Terracon performed subsurface exploration and geotechnical engineering services
<br />including the advancement of test borings and laboratory testing. The firm provided information and geotechnical engineering
<br />recommendations relative to subsurface soil conditions, groundwater conditions, site preparation and earthwork, as well as
<br />excavation, pipe bedding backfill/compaction. Terracon also conducted subsurface exploration and provided geotechnical
<br />recommendations concerning earthwork and the design and construction of a proposed outfall pipe that will be installed
<br />perpendicular to Codrington Drive. Rutu managed Terracon’s staff and resources, field investigation, engineering analysis,
<br />calculations, and recommendations for the project.
<br />
<br />48-inch Diameter Water Main Downtown Loop Closure – Miami, FL
<br />Project Manager/Project Engineer. The 48-inch diameter water main will be constructed under railroad tracks and roadway at the
<br />Miami Loop, along NW 12th Street between NW 1st Avenue West and NW 1st Avenue East. Terracon provided geotechnical
<br />exploration services including drilling borings. The purpose of these services was to provide subsurface field exploration, laboratory
<br />testing information, and geotechnical engineering recommendations to assist in the design and construction of the water main. Rutu
<br />was responsible for Terracon’s staff and resources, field investigation, engineering analysis, calculations, and recommendations for
<br />the project.
<br />
<br />NW 84th Avenue Improvements from 58th Street to 74th Street – Miami, FL
<br />Project Manager/Project Engineer. The proposed improvements project includes roadway reconstruction, a proposed stormwater
<br />system of continuous interconnected exfiltration trench, utility relocations, sidewalks, curb and gutter, signage, mast arms, and
<br />signalization. Terracon performed subsurface exploration (borings and percolation tests) and geotechnical engineering services and
<br />provided information and geotechnical engineering recommendations relative to subsurface soil (and rock) conditions, groundwater
<br />conditions, and percolation test results. Rutu managed Terracon’s staff and resources, field investigation, engineering analysis,
<br />calculations, and recommendations for the project.
<br />
<br />Sunrise Pump Station No. 4 Bypass Pipe Replacement – Sunrise, FL
<br />Senior Engineer. Pump Station No. 4 provides flood protection for predominantly residential neighborhoods. Terracon provided
<br />construction materials testing services for the bypass pipe replacement. The scope of work included earthwork testing, concrete
<br />testing, onsite observations, laboratory testing, engineering and reporting services.
<br />
<br />Re-use Pipelines and Watermain Extensions – Davie, FL
<br />Project Manager/Engineer. The Town of Davie was upgrading its utility systems to allow for growth that was anticipated from two
<br />major redevelopment initiatives within the Town utility area. Terracon completed a program of subsurface exploration in connection
<br />with the re-use pipelines and water main extensions. The firm also provided engineering services during construction, on an as-
<br />needed basis, for the project including: laboratory moisture-density relationship tests for materials used for the utility trench backfill;
<br />limerock bearing ratio (LBR) and carbonate tests on the base course materials; in-place density testing on the utility trench backfill
<br />and base course materials; and corrosivity testing on in-situ soils disclosed during trenching on utility lines along Broward County
<br />roads.
<br />
<br />Seawall Evaluation at Pump Station 1 Facility, Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) – Miami, FL
<br />Project Engineer. WASD planned to renovate the seawall that existed at the time of Terracon’s services due to signs of deterioration
<br />along the southeast edge. Pavement areas were also showing signs of heavy deterioration with holes found in the asphalt. Subsurface
<br />exploration, laboratory testing, and geotechnical engineering recommendations related to the design and construction of the seawall
<br />modifications were provided. The purpose of these services was to provide information and geotechnical engineering
<br />recommendations relative to subsurface and groundwater conditions, geotechnical engineering parameters for the design of the
<br />new seawall, construction considerations, and hydraulic conductivity of the existing soils.
