It has been a busy season for Tucker Paving crews! Tucker Paving has nearly three decades serving Central Florida, offering services such as underground utilities installation and maintenance, construction layout and as-builts, site clearing and demolition, asphalt and concrete installation and maintenance, hauling aggregate, and more! As we continue to grow and work on larger projects that impact Central Florida residents and beyond, such as Universal’s Volcano Bay water park in Orlando or Davenport High School, we want to make sure that everyone is caught up on our latest work.
Tucker Paving Worksites
- Lake Conine Nature Park. This park is being built on Lake Conine, a 200+-acre lake in Winter Haven that is part of the Winter Haven Northern Chain of Lakes. The park will serve as a recreation space where visitors can enjoy Florida’s great outdoors and see wildlife. In July, Tucker Paving worked on completing sitework and underground utilities for this project. Polk County residents will soon have another gem of a nature park to boast about!
- Civic Center. In mid-July, Tucker Paving was proud to be among many other trades that celebrated the “topping out” of a new Civic Center. Topping out is when the highest point or final top piece of a newly erected structure is placed; it has its roots in ancient Scandinavian rituals where a tree would be placed on the roof of a newly built structure to mollify tree spirits displaced by the structure. Today, it’s symbolic of all the hard work that went into the project; many also hold a topping out party where all stakeholders are invited to celebrate the occasion.
- Hamilton Bluff. Tucker Paving has been hard at work on the Hamilton Bluff project all summer, and Phase 1 is on the verge of being completed. There are two phases to the project, which will feature 770 lots for single-family homes on 163 acres. Tucker Paving crews have been completing roadway improvements, like curbs and widening, and underground utilities like sewer lines.
- D.R. Horton Orlando West Headquarters. Tucker Paving recently broke ground on the new Orlando West Headquarters for D.R. Horton, the nation’s largest homebuilder, in Davenport in the second half of August. When finished, the headquarters will feature a two-story, 37,000 sq. ft. building that will host over 200 D.R. Horton employees! Our Tucker Paving crews will be responsible for clearing the site, excavating and grading the site, installing underground utilities, and the installation of all asphalt, base, and concrete!
