We were happy to work on the Elese Tomlin Empowerment Center for the City of Groveland, FL with a great team! The new facility provides educational programs and vocational opportunities aimed at empowering community members through ESOL programs, employment services, all to make a real difference in Groveland. Constructed started several months ago and we'll be posting pictures.
City of Newberry SW Water Main Extension
The City of Newberry planned a water main extension in southwest Newberry to loop and backfeed a large portion of the City’s service area. The route and pipe sizes generally consists of 2,100 LF of 12” Watermain aligned with SW 15th Ave between SW 260th ST and west to SW 266th St, 4,100 LF of 12” watermain aligned along the eastern wide of CR337 / SW 266th St north to Newberry Rd and south to SW 18th Road, and 500 LF of 8” Watermain aligned with SW 264th ST from the proposed 12” along the SW 15th Ave alignment north to the current termination of SW 264th ST. To facilitate the project, Gmuer Engineering designed the utility construction plans, permited the water and wastewater improvements with FDEP, permitted the ROW Use and potential water main crossing of CR337 with Alachua County and SR26 with FDOT, supplied utility construction plans for construction, reviewed record drawings and as-built surveys, and certified testing results witnessed by the City.

Lake City US90 Sweetbreeze Drive Utility Extensions
The Lake City Distribution/Collections Department needed to extend a force main and water main to better serve the Cypress Lake Business Park. The improvements generally consisted of:
- 8” Force Main from an existing lift station at the rear of the park, to US 90, a directional bore under US90, and northeast to Turner Ave, approximately 3,600 linear ft.
- 12” Water main from US90 northeast to Turner Ave, approximately 900 linear ft.
To facilitate the project, Gmuer Engineering completed a sUAS (Drone) aerial of the project limits, developed a schematic utility plan, permitted the right-of-way use permit with FDOT and Columbia County, permitted the water improvements with FDEP, supplied the schematic utility plans for construction, and certified testing with FDEP.
UF IFAS Plant Pathology Greenhouse
UF IFAS needed to perform maintenance at the Plant Pathology Greenhouses located on the main campus. The work involves replumbing the water distribution system surrounding the greenhouses with a design that disrupts existing infrastructure as little as possible in a budget that matches the scale of the project. Gmuer Engineering complete a sUAS (Drone) aerial of the project limits to use as high resolution survey as a base for the proposed site utility plan that was able to route piping around layers of legacy equipment.
Lake City Utilities - Columbia High School
Lake City Distribution/Collections Department needed to extend water mains serving Columbia High School to loop and provide additional water and fire flow. The improvements consist of an internal 8 inch extension of from the stadium south approx 1,800 ft, an 8 inch water main extended from the B&B Store along 252 with a directional bore and onto the school property onto the existing loop. The system also proposes fire hydrants. To facilitate the project, Gmuer Engineering completed a sUAS (Drone) aerial of the project limits to save survey costs, utiltized historical SRWMD Permit Drawings to save on soft dig costs to the City, permitted the water improvements with FDEP, supply the schematic utility plans for construction, review record drawings and as-builts.

UF IFAS Live Oak Equipment Storage Building
UF IFAS has facilities around the state that GmuerEng provides engineering plans and permitting for expansions, maintenance, and new facilities. The Live Oak facility needed a storage facility and workroom for farm implements, tractors, and the prep associated with their use. GmuerEng permitted the plan with the SRWMD and provided site plans for construction.
