This residential development is the biggest project we’ve ever taken on, as the site encompasses 630 acres and 1,400 lots, and required 2.1 million CY of excavation. As if that wasn’t challenging enough, the job site is actually well over two hours away from our home office. Beyond the obvious logistical issues of transporting people and equipment to such a distant location, we encountered significant challenges due to the weather. During just one month while we were working on utilities, the site received over 30 inches of rain, which required us to send in extra crews and work overtime just to keep the site dry enough to work. When you factor in the 35,000 feet of sanitary sewer, 36,000 feet of storm sewer, five lift stations at 25+ feet deep, and 100,000 square yards of roadway, you can get a better picture for the incredible scope of this project.

Services Projects About Careers Contact Successful Projects HANOVER LAKES There aren’t many construction companies that have the capability to build a 45-acre recreational lake and also develop a 541-lot residential subdivision around it, but Hughes Brothers sure can! This 180-acre site in Osceola County saw us build an entirely new recreational lake next to the existing Alligator Lake, but that was just the beginning. After we exported 900,000 CY of material to create the lake, we built a system of canals and a boat lift that allows residents to travel between the two lakes. The on-site lake has a higher water level than Alligator Lake, so it’s necessary to lift boats up over a berm on a rail system, then drop them back down into Alligator Lake on the other side. This project also required coordination with the Army Corps of Engineers, other local contractors, and trucking companies to find a new home for the massive amount of dirt we excavated and exported to build this ambitious project.
