Cocoa Beach Police Headquarters

The City of Cocoa Beach engaged H. J. High Construction to build a three story, hardened police facility that would withstand the rigors of a coastal community. Located a block from the beach, it was designed to withstand category 5 hurricane winds and storm surge and maintain operations through the toughest conditions. With multiple redundancies and amenities to accommodate the sworn and civilian employees, the new Cocoa Beach Police Headquarters will serve the city effectively for decades to come.

Work on this 50,000 SF, three-story, $10.6 million office complex included various design-build services from civil, landscape, architecture, interior and fire protection design, to structural, mechanical, plumbing and electrical engineering.

The building’s structure is a brick inlaid concrete exterior with steel interior framing and tilt-up concrete walls, for which Haskell self-performed 100% of the work. P&J occupies the first two floors of the building while tenants lease the first.

The project is a design-build construction of a new building to house two new 90-ton-per-day, vacuum pressure swing adsorption oxygen production units; associated electrical, instrumentation and controls; as well as site and civil work. Miami-Dade Water and Sewer’s first vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) system at the 143-MGD Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant significantly reduces Miami-Dade County’s power consumption while generating the same amount of oxygen used before. The new VPSA technology replaces an aging cryogenic system and helps Miami- Dade County meet environmental guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
