The utilities work will be performed immediately and over the
next few months. Involving the investigation and relocation of several
different needed services (power, water, fiber optics, phone,
telecommunications, and cable services) provided by a host of different
companies this project is unique in that each concerned party gathered in a
pre-construction conference to discuss ideas that would reduce total cost and
time by having varying work practices executed simultaneously. This is a
concept that has wide support but has never been implemented due to the massive
scheduling conflicts involved with adjusting utilities.
Neptune Road
represents the chance for
Osceola
County
to establish itself as an innovator within the Construction industry and set a
standard for cost savings through streamlined planning and execution.
