The Homestead Field Station Building Replacements Project is a design-build project that consists of the replacement of the existing office, administrative, and maintenance buildings at the southern Miami-Dade County South Florida Water Management District field station. The existing facilities were built before modern hurricane standards and had reached the end of their service life. 

 

The first phase of the project included 8,000 SF of office to house 26 personnel and features a conference room, break room, locker rooms, showers and work room.  The 13,000 SF maintenance building has six maintenance bays with equipment for the repair and maintenance of the district’s largest vehicles.  A new fueling station and generator were included in the first phase as well.

 

In the upcoming Phase 2, the existing administration building will be replaced with a new 9,500 SF building. Two additional maintenance buildings, a new truck wash, and a heliport will be constructed onsite as well.

 

SCEC worked with our partner Carty Architecture to complete the design of the new modern facility.

 

SCEC mobilized onsite in March 2021 and substantially completed the first phase of the project in summer 2022.
