			Cledwyn R. Weldon, P.E.Director, Engineering DepartmentSouth Florida Water Management District Taylor Engineering and its subconsultant for the S-65E project not only provided the eclectic skills the project demanded but also overcame time and logistic obstacles to complete the project two weeks before the arrival of Tropical Storm Fay in August. Taylor Engineering devised a solution to S-65E’s structural issue; designed, wrote specifications for, and oversaw the construction of the massive tailwater structure that now supports S-65E; and supported this work with sound hydraulic analyses. The District feels fortunate to have found a company who could provide these services.

Taylor Engineering’s work for Martin County includes engineering design, environmental permitting and construction assistance for the Willoughby Creek dredging project and the Hutchinson Island shore protection project. The firm’s understanding of both coastal engineering and dredging issues has helped the county complete these projects on time and within budget. These projects have required sound engineering judgment, sensitivity to environmental issues, and exhaustive coordination with state and federal environmental permitting and resource agencies. I highly recommend Taylor Engineering. Shore Protection Project – Martin County, FL http://taylorengineering.com/lib/themes/images/quotes/martin.png 4 David K.
