Oxbridge Academy of the Palm Beaches

The Oxbridge Academy of the Palm Beaches transformed an existing institutional building into a new private high school in Palm Beach County. WGI assisted by providing site civil engineering design, permitting, surveying and construction administration services for the new high school campus. Site civil engineering services included the design and permitting of various site utilities and facilities including new classrooms, gymnasium, field houses, a private lift station design and modeling, Olympic-size pool and a 13-acre athletic complex. WGI was also responsible for all surveying activities including: boundary, topographic and location surveys, building stake-out, easements, sketches and descriptions, athletic field construction layout and platting.

The Academy is located in both the City of West Palm Beach and Palm Beach County; therefore, permits from both agencies had to be secured. Other permitting agencies included South Florida Water Management District for surface water and water use permits, Florida Department of Transportation for right-of-way, turn-out and drainage permits, City of West Palm Beach Engineering and Palm Beach County Land Development Division for site civil improvements, Northern Palm Beach County Improvement District for drainage permits, and Palm Beach County Water Utilities Department and Florida Department of Environmental Protection for water distribution and wastewater collection permits.
