Past Projects

Polk State College Student Center Remodel

This $2,680,000 remodel project included expansion of an existing building to include a dining hall, kitchen, meeting rooms, and classrooms. JSK helped to design and permit this to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) criteria for the construction of a green building.

JSK worked together with Polk State College and the Southwest Florida Water Management District to help engineer and permit these campus improvements.

The services we provided include the following:

• Surveying: Arrange for and coordinate a survey to obtain boundary information and provide topographic data required for engineering and permitting through Southwest Florida Water Management District.
• Civil/Environmental Engineering: complete site development design, preparation of technical standards and specifications project manual; and construction management and administration.

Florida Southern College Robert’s Garden

This project was designed and constructed to help encourage and promote passive recreation activities at Florida Southern College’s campus. It is adjacent to a recently constructed health and wellness center adjacent to Lake Hollingsworth. To help meet budgeting requirements, JSK obtained plan approval from the City of Lakeland and SWFWMD within thirty days for this project.

The services we provided include the following:

• Surveying: Arrange for and coordinate a survey to obtain boundary information and provide topographic data required for engineering and permitting through the City and SWFWMD.
• Civil/Environmental Engineering: complete site development design, preparation of technical standards and specifications project manual; and construction management and administration.

Kyra Infotech Professional Office

Working together with Furr Wegman Architects, P.A., JSK CONSULTING, Inc. helped to design and permit this cutting edge Research & Development Facility to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) criteria for the construction of a green building.

Our services for this project included working with the City of Lakeland, Southwest Florida Water Management District, and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to engineer and permit the construction of this facility.  The Surface Water Management analysis model included multiple storm event scenarios and hydraulic analysis of the complex drainage conveyance system to address the permitting concerns of the City and the Water Management District.

Polk County School Board Elementary Prototype

JSK CONSULTING, Inc.’s services for these projects include complete land use planning and zoning, site layout, civil engineering and construction management services to construct school sites with supporting infrastructure throughout the County.  Recently, JSK coordinated with the Florida Department of Transportation, surrounding developers and municipalities to design intersection improvements as well as off-site water and sewer main extensions for a school site in Northeast Polk County.

 The services we typically provide include the following:

• Land Use Planning and Zoning: preparation and submission of annexation application with supporting impact assessment statement and site evaluations.  Our services include Client representation before the local Planning Commission as well the City Council for annexation and land use adoption.
• Civil/Environmental Engineering: complete site development design to include: paving, grading and drainage system design and permitting; gravity sewer collection systems and force main design and permitting; irrigation water distribution system design and permitting; preparation of construction plans and a Technical standards and specifications project manual; and construction management and administration.

Polk County Utilities - NERWWTF Surge Tank Modification

The County’s NERWWTF is located in unincorporated Polk County north of Davenport and Haines City near the intersection of I-4 and U.S. Highway 27.  During construction of the plant’s expansion Matthew Johnson, PE helped to  permit a modification of the existing plant with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to construct a surge tank for the plant.  

The purpose of the project was to address solids washing out of the clarifiers of the existing NERWWTF due to excessive peak-hour hydraulic loadings. The problem experienced by the facility stemmed from the shallwow side water depth of approximately eight feet in the clarifiers and an elevated solids loading rate during these periods. These physical and operational characteristics caused the facility to have a tendency for solids washing out of the clarifiers during peak-hour periods when the flow is slightly above the design ADF.

Highland Conserve
Rural Residential Development

This site is within the Gateway Selected Plan (SAP) boundary. A goal of the Gateway SAP is to implement and promote sustainable development practices to support the preservation and restoration of natural systems while achieving the maximum density allowed in the A/RR land use district.

Another goal is to support the implementation of conservation planning principles including the set-aside of land with natural resources and the clustering of housing units and services in rural areas.

The services we provided including the following:

Polk County - Saddle Creek Fire Station

Engineering services for this project included evaluation of surrounding properties and County right-of-ways to review existing drainage patterns and flooding concerns.

Working within the construction budget, JSK helped to design and permit cost efficient solutions to help address the County's concerns related to their existing right-of-way and surrounding properties.
