The Turning Notch
Port Everglades,
Broward County, Florida
In October of 2018, Ryan Incorporated Southern
was contracted by Moss/Kiewit, a Joint Venture to
construct the Port Everglades Southport Turning
Notch Expansion for $112,833,080. • T
urning Notch and adjacent property trash/
debris/muck removal to a Class 1 landfill which
equates to approximately 1,800,000 tons of
material.
The existing property was being used for ship
container storage and was built over an existing
landfill years ago. To facilitate completion of this
turning notch, Moss/Kiewit not only contracted
with Ryan but contracted with several other firms,
all of which had specific and specialized work.
Collectively this project will be completed by 2023
and a turning notch of 30 acres will provide the Port
the ability to accommodate five additional cargo
ships and potentially three container gantry cranes. • B
lasting of the Limestone/Cementitious
material, which is located below the trash/
debris/muck, to a depth of 50 feet.
• E
xcavation and removal from site, the
Limestone/Cementitious material which
equates to approximately 3,500,000 tons.
• E
arthwork outside of the turning notch will be
completed to accommodate future container
storage.
We are more than 50% complete with the trash and
debris removal and expect to be drilling, blasting
and excavating the limestone within the next 30-
60 days. Currently we are 29% complete with our
overall scope of work. This is certainly a flagship
project for Ryan Incorporated Southern. We are
grateful for this opportunity and being part of such
a brilliant team.
Prior to the award, nine months of work revolving
around site visits, bid preparation and scheduling
discussions finally brought this project to fruition.
Our scope of work consists of the following:
• Construction of temporary access roads
• S
ite demolition of existing structures, light
poles, utilities, asphalt…etc.
