Crews pushed three massive precast concrete boxes into place with hydraulic jacks underneath an active highway in Brevard County, Fla., during the week of March 29 as part of the $4-billion Brightline high-speed rail program that will extend the line to Orlando from Miami and West Palm Beach.

Crews utilized a temporary trestle and precast pile caps to mitigate challenges posed by environmental conditions and permitting issues, completing the Crosstown Parkway Extension in Port St. Lucie, Fla., two months early and $13 million under budget.

As the first Southeast U.S. building to meet strict Living Building Challenge mandates, the Kendeda Building for Innovative Sustainable Design features a host of innovations—from renewable energy systems that generated 250% more power than the 47,000-sq-ft multipurpose facility used in its first year to mass timber construction with wood salvaged or from responsibly managed forests.
