REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS
Oakridge Road over Florida’s TurnpikeBridge Replacement, OrangeCounty– This project included the redesign of the bridge to change the construction from three phases to two phases. The project included an innovative temporary sidewalk that was attached to the exterior bridge beams to maintain pedestrian traffic at all times. The design included anchored temporary sheet pile and a box culvert extension. Mr. Niedermann served as the Project Manager and performed all quality control reviews on this project for the Turnpike Enterprise.
TCP Plan Revisions for I-95 HOV Projects, Palm Beach County, Florida– This project included the redesign of several phases for the construction of the HOV lanes for I-95 among several projects. The projects included temporary profiles and significant lane shifts for the mainline and ramps of I-95. Mr. Niedermann served as the Lead Engineer in developing the Traffic Control Plans on this project for Hubbard Construction and FDOT District 4.
SR 10 (US 90) Roadway Re-alignment and Bridge Replacement, Madison County, Florida– This project included the re-alignment of ¾ miles of rural high speed roadwayand the replacement of the bridge over the Seaboard Coastline Railroad. The project included utility coordination with relocation, right of mapping and acquisition, environmental permitting, railroad coordination, traffic control plans and bridge design. Mr. Niedermann served as the overall Project Manager on this project for FDOT District 2.
SR 15 (US1) Bridge Widening and Replacements, Duval and Nassau Counties, Florida - This project included eight bridge replacements and eight bridge widenings. All bridges were over water and included phased construction. Mr. Niedermann served as the Structural Quality Control Engineer.

PedestrianBridge over Southside Boulevard, Duval County, Florida–This 200 LF truss bridge was designed as a safety improvement near an elementary school on Ivey Lane in Jacksonville. The project was constructed on drilled shafts in order to reduce vibration impacts to adjacent houses and to minimize utility impacts. The project included ADA compliant approach ramps, signalization, right of way plans and landscape plans. The project was designed for FDOT District 2. Mr. Niedermann was the Structural Engineer of Record and developed the Traffic Control Concept.
Lakeland In-Town Bypass over CSX Railroad and Florida Tile Property, Polk County, Florida–This project involved a new roadway alignment that crossed several tracks of the CSX Railroad and the Florida Tile manufacturing facility. The bridge consisted of three spans (240-178-156) with a total bridge length of 574 feet. The spans were unbalanced due to the geometry of the railroad and the Florida Tile property. The nature of the tile manufacturing facility required a vibration sensitive design and significant coordination with the property owners. Mr. Niedermann served as the Structures Project Manager and was responsible for the design of the continuous steel girders.
Suncoast Parkway (SR 589) Section 5, Hernando County, Florida–This project included three bridge sites (SR 50, Highfield Road and North Industrial Road). The bridge over SR 50 was a 175’ steel plate girder bridge. The other two bridges utilized AASHTO beam superstructures. Mr. Niedermann was the Engineer of Record for all three bridges.
Maitland Blvd. (SR 414) over LakeBosse, Seminole County, Florida–This project consisted of a new roadway over a deep muck deposit. The project utilized steel pipe piles on this 700’ bridge. Mr. Niedermann designed the 210’ steel plate main span unit.
Little EconPedestrianBridges, Orange County, Florida– This project was a Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP) with Southland Construction, Inc. The project was a redesign that consisted of precast double tee beams with a concrete overlay. The foundations ranged from shallow spread footings to driven steel H piles. The project included three bridges up to 800 LF in length. Mr. Niedermann was the Structural Engineer of Record.
Various OOCEABridge Projects, Orange County, Florida – These projects includedover fifty various bridges and consisted of new construction and widenings. The bridge types included prestressed concrete and steel superstructures, and the superstructures spanned over roadways and waterways. Assignments ranged from Project Engineer to EOR.
Various OOCEATollPlaza Projects, Orange County, Florida – These projects consisted of the reconstruction of various toll plazas. Three mainline toll plazas were converted from eight cash lanes to an open road tolling type of plaza with four express (70 MPH) EPASS lanes and eight cash lanes. These toll plazas were reconstructed using phased construction. The HollandWestMainlineTollPlaza was designed as a new open road tolling plaza at a new location, and phased demolition plans were provided for the old plaza. Four single lane ramp toll plazas were converted to two lane plazas by adding dedicated EPASS lanes, and four new two lane ramp plazas were designed. Mr. Niedermann developed the Traffic Control Plans and served as the Structures Engineer of Record.
I-75 Bridge Widenings and Replacements, MarionCounty, Florida – This project for FDOT District 5 included replacements of four bridges and eight widenings. The project included phased construction and the design of tied back sheet pile walls. Mr. Niedermann served as the Structural Project Engineer.
SeminoleCounty Expressway, Project 2, Section 2 – This project was a 3 mile long section of a limited access tolled expressway for the Turnpike Enterprise. This project included prestressed concrete girder bridges over CR 46A and Upsala Road. The project included long MSE retaining walls, and two bridge culverts for the LockhartSmithCanal. Mr. Niedermann served as the Structural Engineer of Record.

Various Bridge Load Ratings – These bridge load ratings encompassed flat slab bridges (cast in place and precast), AASHTO beam bridges and structural steel bridges. These projects included several bridges over I-95 that are to receive bridge barrier retrofits, SR 600 over Tomoka River, Suncoast Parkway over SR 50 and two other local roads, Dodd Road over Howell Creek and Reunion Resort Drive over I-4. Mr. Niedermann has performed bridge load ratings using LRFR and LFD design methodologies.
Various Box Culvert Extensions, Florida – These projects included developing plans to extend existing box culverts and providing design of temporary sheet pile walls. The numerous projects included 7 sites along SR 77, SR 600 in Daytona Beach and US 192 in Kissimmee. Mr. Niedermann was the Structural Engineer of Record.
Various Constructability and Peer Review Projects – These plan review projects were part of the consultant’s I-4 Plans Review contract for FDOT District 1. Mr. Niedermann served as a plans reviewer responsible for design and constructability issues for various projects in the I-4 corridor. The projects limits included US 98 through US 27. Mr. Niedermann reviewed the plans for structural, roadway and maintenance of traffic issues.
Various Construction Related Engineering Projects – Mr. Niedermann’s construction-related experience includes Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP) designs, analysis of out of tolerance piles, repair procedures for cracks and spalls, sheet pile redesign, crane loading analysis on bridges and sheet pile walls, bridge deck overhang forming design, temporary bracing for concrete beams, screed rail profile and SIP form elevation calculations, and other general structural analysis such as evaluation of out of tolerance bridge deck thickness (either too thick or too thin).
