To date, Taylor Engineering has successfully completed projects throughout the Eastern and Southern United States, Puerto Rico, and South America. The diverse nature of these projects range from design, permitting, and construction of storm water, constructed wetland, and shore protection projects and dredged material management facilities to advanced mathematical modeling of complex water bodies for the design and evaluation of flood control and ecosystem restoration projects, bridges, jetties, breakwaters, channel deepening, and more. Sample projects include:
- Design of flood control improvements for the USACE L-10/L-12 Canal in South Florida;
- Over 50 comprehensive FEMA flood insurance studies in regions IV and VI;
- Permitting, design, and construction observation for six dredged material management facilities for the ICWW in Florida;
- 50-year dredged material management plan for over 500 miles of Florida’s federal channel in the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and the Okechobee Waterway;
- Design and feasibility study to improve navigation of Ponce DeLeon Inlet for the USACE Jacksonville District;
- Comprehensive modeling, including waves, storm surge, salinity, and turbidity, of a 200-mile Louisiana estuarine system to identify water quality restoration alternatives;
- Large-scale stormwater and hurricane surge modeling in support of over 60 Florida and South Carolina DOT bridge designs;
- 2 Section 1135 Environmental Restoration projects for the USACE, Jacksonville District;
- United Nations Environmental Impact Statement for a 2,000 mile navigation project;
- Shoreline erosion modeling for USACE;
- Development of a GIS-based system for the USACE Waterways Experiment Station to diagnose channel shoaling problems and identify solutions;
