Miami Beach Hotspots Renourishment Project

Morgan & Eklund, Inc. provided pre and post-construction surveys for Eastman Aggregate Enterprises LLC who was under contract with The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers together with the City of Miami Beach and Miami-Dade County as part of the Miami Beach Hotspots Beach Renourishment Project.

Initially our field crews verified horizontal and vertical control monuments and set additional control points as required for RTK base stations. Additionally, our firm provided construction staking for fill placement and pre and post-fill cross sections to determine fill volumes. We also performed offshore pre-fill cross-sections at the 55th Street and 46th Street Hot Spots utilizing our 26’ Parker Survey Boat and computed volumes with respect to template and specifications.

Our survey crews set grade stakes for fill placement within the design template and collected elevation data along cross-sections spaced at 100’ intervals before fill and immediately after fill to compute pay volumes.
