Interstate 4 Widening from SR 44 to East of I-95

• Contract Type: Design-Build

• Contract Amount: $134.4 million

• Location: Volusia County, Florida

• Client: FDOT District Five

• JV Partner: Condotte America, Inc.

• Design Partner: BCC Engineering, Inc.

Project Features:

• Fourteen miles of widening and reconstruction with concrete pavement utilized for the final wearing surface.
• New flyover ramps for the I-4/ US 92 interchange.
• The JV Team’s design for the geometric alignment of the US 92/ I-4 Ramp “A” flyover provides a 60 mph design speed while reducing the overall bridge length and offers a virtually maintenance free concrete superstructure.
• The de Moya Group developed a strong logistical plan to handle the importing of materials to the site safely and effectively.
• An FDOT certified concrete plant will be set up on site for the concrete paving operations. The concrete plant will be capable of producing over 120 cubic yards per hour.
• The project lies within a highly environmentally sensitive area with extensive impacts to wetlands.  The JV Team’s design approach minimizes impacts to these areas and maximizes the use of upland areas for improvements.
• Key scopes of work on the project include: 1,500,000 cubic yards of embankment (115,000 dump truck loads), 230,000 cubic yards of structural concrete (23,000 concrete trucks) and 150,000 tons of asphalt (7,000 dump truck loads).
• The JV Team reduced the project schedule by nearly one year, from 1260 days proposed to 900 days.

SR 826 (Palmetto Expressway) SR 874 Interchange

• Contract Type: Design-Build-Finance

• Contract Amount: $190 million

• Location: Miami-Dade County, Florida

• Client: FDOT District Six

• Design Partner: BCC Engineering, Inc.

• Completed: March 2012

Project Features:

• The project includes 8 new bridge structures with a total deck area of almost 200,000 square feet.
• Four of the structures are major steel bridges consisting of continuous steel plate girder superstructures with span lengths of up to 250 feet and skews of 60°.
• Deck pours were extremely complicated due to skews and super-elevated transitions on the bridge.
• Extremely complex interchange in a constrained area with up to 22 lanes of traffic stretching from right-of-way line to right-of-way line.
• A complex Traffic Control Plan with intricate phasing was implemented to build the ultimate section of up to 22 lanes separated by 10 barrier walls using the entire available right-of-way.
• The project includes over 260,000 square feet of MSE wall with heights up to 35 feet, temporary critical walls, overhead sign structures (span and cantilever), bridge mounted sign structures, and mast arm structures for new signals.
• Work also includes 500,000 cubic yards of embankment and 130,000 tons of asphalt.
• BCC Engineering is the Prime Designer for this Design-Build project and is responsible for design project management, roadway and structure plans, and Maintenance of Traffic.
• The JV Team reduced the anticipated FDOT contract schedule by 850 calendar days.
