This week, we're exploring STEM at Skylab Innovation Center! 🚀

Every year, more than 200,000 visitors flock to the SUN 'n FUN Aerospace Expo at Lakeland Linder International Airport for a thrilling showcase of air shows, STEM activities, and more.

In 2019, Chastain-Skillman teamed up with The Lunz Group to construct an 8,000-square-foot multipurpose facility at the Aerospace Center for Excellence on the Sun 'n Fun campus in Lakeland, Florida. Today, the Skylab Innovation Center stands tall as a hub for inspiring, educating, and accelerating the next generation of aviation pioneers. 🛩️

Skylab boasts an impressive array of STEM educational settings including A Drone Laboratory, Redbird Flight Simulators, and Science on a Sphere — a room-sized, global display system that uses computers and video projectors to display planetary data onto a six-foot diameter sphere.
Join us in celebrating the spirit of innovation that shapes our hometowns! 🏙️

Can you name five benefits sidewalks offer to the

Can you name five benefits sidewalks offer to the community? 🚸🛤️

Chastain-Skillman is partnering with the @cityoflakewales to develop site work construction drawings for the addition of new sidewalks in the northwest residential area. Currently, residents traveling on foot are walking through the grass or directly on the road. This puts pedestrians at risk for trip hazards and motor vehicle accidents. Sidewalks are often overlooked but they can offer many benefits, such as:

- Safe walking routes for students and parents
- Enhanced visibility and protection from traffic
- Accessible and inclusive spaces for people with disabilities
- Stable ground surface to prevent injuries
- Opportunities for physical activity and social interaction

The project was initiated from a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program intended to improve urban communities by providing suitable living conditions. Our firm is proud to assist municipal governments in establishing safer living conditions for their residents. 🚶

Did you know that many of Central Florida's recrea

Did you know that many of Central Florida's recreational retreats were once productive phosphate mines? Florida's phosphate industry has been concentrated in Central Florida's "Bone Valley," encompassing portions of present-day Hardee, Hillsborough, Manatee, and Polk counties where phosphate deposits are exceptionally rich.

Phosphate mining has been a major industry in Central Florida since the late 19th century. However, phosphate mining greatly impacts the landscape, turning flat, lush land into rolling hills of waste material. Fortunately, since 1975, the Florida Legislature has required that all mined lands be reclaimed and restored. As a result, many old mines have been transformed into fishing lakes, recreational parks, golf courses, mountain bike trails, and even housing developments.

Reclaiming and beautifying land is not only vital for environmental restoration, but also for creating vibrant, healthy, and thriving communities. It represents a commitment to preserving the environment while enhancing the quality of life for current and future generations.

In these green oases, you will discover more than just well-designed spaces; you will witness the tangible results of our commitment to environmental restoration and community welfare. Chastain-Skillman is proud to have played a role in various reclaimed land developments in Central Florida, including:
🌳 Loyce E. Harpe Park – Civil Engineering and Surveying
🌼 Christina Park – Site Design and Stormwater Engineering
💦 Hardee Lakes Splash Pad – Civil Site Design and Surveying
🌸 Bonnet Springs Park – Surveying and GIS Mapping

We had a fantastic time sponsoring Nucor Steel Flo

We had a fantastic time sponsoring Nucor Steel Florida's 1st Annual Golf Tournament, benefiting Operation Steel Warrior. 🏌⛳ Operation Steel Warrior is a combined effort among Nucor divisions to assist the Gary Sinise Foundation in building "smart" homes (specially adapted, unique homes designed to account for that veteran's injuries and challenges) for severely disabled veterans. 🏠

Members of our land surveying team, Paul and Devin, participated in the fundraising event and came in 2nd place. Way to go team!
