Tyndall Air Force Base Renovation

Owner: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

After Hurricane Michael devastated Tyndall Air Force Base in 2018, the U.S. Air Force launched one of its largest reconstruction efforts, a multibillion‑dollar program designed to create a stronger, more resilient installation capable of withstanding future natural hazards. The rebuild incorporates elevated structures, hurricane‑resistant facilities, and enhanced natural protections to ensure long‑term mission readiness.

BL Harbert played a significant role in this transformation, delivering a wide range of critical facilities across the installation. These include lodging, training and community facilities, recreation amenities, flightline support structures, headquarters buildings, drone program facilities, gate complexes, munitions storage, and major squadron support facilities. Several projects earned industry recognition, reflecting the quality and impact of the work.

With more than $1 billion in construction delivered or underway, BL Harbert’s contributions support the Air Force’s vision for Tyndall as an “installation of the future,” serving as a model of resilient, mission-ready design-build delivery and a benchmark for future military base reconstruction.

Francisco Park Redevelopment

Owner: Francisco Street Reservoir, CA

The Francisco Street Reservoir project in San Francisco transformed a historic site into a multifunctional park with an underground stormwater capture and reuse system. Using StormTech chambers, the system stores and treats runoff for irrigation and toilet flushing, saving 1.5 million gallons of potable water annually. Despite challenging site conditions, the design maximized storage efficiency and supports sustainable water management while preserving the site as a community resource.

Marine Corps Air Station Miramar Power Plant and Microgrid

Owner: Department of Defense

Design and build of a best-in-class power plant and microgrid at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar in San Diego, California. A state-of-the-art energy system operated out of the air station’s Energy and Water Operation Center (EWOC). This fully operational DoD microgrid is the first of its kind to add energy redundancy, incorporate renewable energy, and allow operations at mission-critical facilities to continue if the utility power grid is compromised or damaged.

Macdill Air Force Base, Bridge Project

ECS Florida, LLC provided ecological services for the MacDill Air Force Base Culvert Design/Replacement project. The scope of work encompassed several key environmental tasks.

Initially, ECS conducted pre-application meetings with various regulatory bodies, including the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), Hillsborough County Environmental Protection Commission (EPC), and Tampa Port Authority.

For USACE Section 10/404 Permitting, ECS prepared and submitted a Nationwide Permit (NWP) application, with the project appearing likely to qualify for a NWP 14. This effort involved preparing exhibits, performing a functional wetland assessment (UMAM and/or WRAP), and coordinating with the client and project engineer to develop a mitigation plan. ECS also prepared a Waters of the U.S. (WOTUS) Determination request, performed wetland field verification, conducted a mitigation analysis, and consulted with local mitigation banks for credit costs. ECS was prepared to respond to a USACE Request for Additional Information (RAI) and anticipated USACE coordination with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) regarding protected species, such as the Florida Manatee, and with NOAA National Marine Fisheries (NMFS) concerning potential impacts to Essential
Fisheries Habitat.

Salt River Project Completes Hydropower Modernization Project 

Owner: Salt River Project
