I am wintering in SW FLorida. FWIW, there's a very high water table here and mostly sandy soil.
As I have driven up and down Tamiami Trail (aka US-41) in my area, I have spotted these cement things (roughly look to be about the size and shape of a fat water heater, with a u-shaped 'handle' on one end) in a large pile alongside the road. A week or so later, I see that single units have been distributed along the roadside, many feet apart and on both sides of the road. The traffic cones nearby might give you a sense of scale.
I have no idea what these are nor what they are used for. I've never seen any workers around them, so there's not been anyone to ask.
Since we have such a wealth of knowledgeable people here, I'm hoping someone can put my curiosity to rest.
FWIW, there's always some sort of work being done on (or next to) US-41 as it is the major thoroughfare in these parts. I'm guessing these objects might be related to water distribution, sewage lines, water runoff/drainage, electric lines, internet/cable, etc.
