Port Buena Vista

Port Buena Vista East Palatka, Florida Matthews | DCCM provided engineering services for the lift station design at the end of Margarita Road in the Port Buena Vista (PBV) development in East Palatka. Our team successfully decommissioned the PBV Waste Water Treatment Facility and designed and permitted the force main connecting the new lift station to the existing county- owned facility, which spanned State Road 207 and various county roads. Aligned with the FEMA HMGP application process, our scope included surveying, design, construction plans, permitting with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), active participation in meetings, and vigilant oversight during construction. Our team collaborated with Jackson Geotechnical Engineering for Geotechnical Engineering. Together, we conducted a geotechnical exploration at the proposed lift station location, analyzing subsurface conditions through field exploration and laboratory tests. The results, conveyed in a detailed report, were integrated into the final construction documents.

St. Augustine Marine Center

St. Augustine Marine Center St. Augustine, Florida Our endeavor to expand the St. Augustine Marine Center stands as a transformative initiative, revitalizing a pivotal maritime hub adjacent to the St. Augustine Inlet. Extensive groundwork, including due diligence, conceptual site planning, surveying, and architectural renderings, has laid the foundation for this ambitious project. Currently, we are advancing through the permitting process and concurrently refining comprehensive architectural designs, complementing finalized rezoning and construction plans. This meticulous approach ensures that the Marine Center will undergo essential infrastructure upgrades, berth expansions, and the introduction of cutting-edge amenities, all aimed at enriching functionality and customer experience. Distinct from conventional industrial boat storage environments, the design ethos of the marina expansion is centered around community engagement. From a café-style restaurant to storefront shopping areas, the expanded facility seeks to reinvigorate neighboring communities and foster a vibrant waterfront atmosphere. As we progress towards the implementation phase, ongoing collaboration with stakeholders and regulatory bodies remains paramount. This ensures that the Marine Center’s expansion aligns seamlessly with community needs and environmental considerations, securing its long-term viability and success as a cornerstone of St. Augustine’s maritime identity.

Tocoi Creek High School

Tocoi Creek High School St. Augustine, Florida Matthews | DCCM provided professional engineering associated with the design and permitting services to the Architect-of-Record for the new high school located along International Golf Parkway, northeast of the Mill Creek Academy in St. Augustine, Florida.  This school is situated on a 69-acre site and consists of five buildings comprising of classrooms, a gym, a cafeteria, an auditorium, and an administrative office. The campus includes student, teacher, and visitor parking, a football field, a baseball field, a softball field, basketball courts, and a bus drop-off area.  Scope of work included conceptual site plan depicting the location of buildings, parking, and stormwater management areas; engineering designs and construction plan preparation showing land clearing and tree removal limits, demolition, site grading and earthwork, stormwater drainage systems, paving and water and sewer utilities. Offsite improvements associated with the high school included the addition of turn lanes, driveway design and modifications, maintenance of traffic (MOT) plans, and signing and pavement marking (S&PM) plans. Additionally, our team conducted a topographic survey of the baseball field to address the ponding and drainage challenges that arose from the installation of clay, hindering proper stormwater drainage. By meticulously analyzing the site’s contours and identifying areas of concern, we developed an engineered design to rectify the drainage issues.
