Transportation & Infrastructure Teams

Support for Cultural Resources That Moves Florida Forward

From corridors to communities, ACI has extensive experience supporting transportation and infrastructure teams through Phase I surveys, regulatory requirements, and comprehensive field investigations. With continuing service contracts across all FDOT Districts and the Florida Turnpike Authority, along with partnerships with the U.S. Coast Guard on infrastructure near waterways, ACI understands the coordination, documentation, and agency expectations that come with the work.

50 Years of Preserving the Past & Paving the Future

Transportation and infrastructure work can require cultural resources, archaeology, and technological experience designed to fit within larger engineering, environmental, and construction schedules. ACI works alongside clients to define the appropriate scope, coordinate fieldwork, document findings, and provide the information needed to support permitting and compliance. Whether the work involves roadways, utilities, expansions, water, or infrastructure near sensitive areas, our team can adapt its approach to the demands of the project.

Let's Start Your Project Responsibly

ACI can help you understand what information is needed, which services may be required, and what steps should come next based on your project’s location, scope, and specific circumstances. The first step in your due diligence efforts is providing us with timelines, locations, site plans, and any other information that may be key for our team to know — and we can begin assisting you. 

Need Guidance on Cultural Resources for a Transportation or Infrastructure Project?

If it’s unclear which services your project may require, ACI can help you determine what you need, whether it’s archaeology, bioaechaeology, technology such as GPR or LiDAR, or cemetery studies. Contact our team, start the conversation by providing us with any important details, and we will determine the scope necessary to move the process forward.
