The Clewiston Field Station is a highly anticipated project featuring an Administration Building, Pavilion, Maintenance Building, and Vehicle Wash, designed to support a staff of over 100 employees.

SCEC has been engaged in this design-build endeavor since 2022, making the recent groundbreaking ceremony a significant milestone and an exciting addition to our SFWMD portfolio.

The expanded field station will support many critical projects that are coming online including Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) projects such as the Caloosahatchee (C-43) Reservoir, Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP) North Features, and the EAA Reservoir & Stormwater Treatment Area, along with water quality projects including the C-139 Flow Equalization Basin, Boma Flow Equalization Basin, Lake Hicpochee Flow Equalization Basin Phase I & II, and more.

The construction is designed to withstand a Category 5 hurricane and includes full back-up power to allow the Clewiston Field Station to maintain full operations during the critical post-storm response period.

The new field station will replace a building that is approximately 70 years old and is expected to be complete by the end of 2026.
