Kissimmee River Restoration Project, C-37 Embankment Armoring, Polk and Osceola Counties, Florida

DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The project consists of placing approximately 1 mile of turf reinforcement mat system and approximately 1.7 miles of riprap along the eastern canal bank of C-37 (Kissimmee River) in a marine environment that has marine traffic. Canal water elevations vary from 47.3 feet to 53.9 feet NAVD 88. Portions of the work will be required to be performed below the water line of the C-37 canal, including excavation, placement of geotextile, riprap, bedding stone, and the installation of the turf reinforcement mat system. Vehicular access is limited to the site with only two access points on each side of C-37. The access point on the east side of C-37 canal is approximately 9 miles using South Florida Water Management District access road which is accessible by means of Country Road 523 and Lake Cypress Road. The west access point is in close proximity to county roads but will require the use of barges to transport equipment and materials across the canal to the east bank. There is an existing private bridge crossing the C-37 but it cannot be used for construction access.
