Engineering design and construction phase services of water, sewer, drainage and paving for four subdivision sections and off-site channel (123 acres out of a 400 acre subdivision). There was 60-feet of elevation difference on this site and wooded lots were left in their natural state which required the installation of retaining walls.
The new roadway design comprises of one-half major thoroughfare, conventional drainage, a 600-ft long bridge over Willow Fork Bayou, Retaining walls and intersection improvements at FM 1463 (including traffic signals and illumination).
EHRA planners, hydrologists and landscape architects worked together to propose an alternative use for the space, re-developing the basin into an amenity pond. EHRA carefully selected native plant materials for both their ability to survive in the harsh conditions of the basin as well as providing filtration for improved storm water quality.
EHRA offered its Landscape Architectural services to complete a Parks and Trails Master Plan for the District.
Project totaled 640 acres including 1256 Residential Lots. EHRA designed, created construction plans, publicly bid and preformed Construction management.
Congratulations to Chris Browne and Adam McGovern for their recent awards from the West Houston Association. Chris Browne was awarded the Sustainability Stars Award. Adam McGovern was awarded the Most Outstanding Committee Member -2018.
Sustainability Stars Awards go to projects that were outstanding examples of sustainable practices in the Greater West Houston region.“The Sustainability Stars Award was established in 2017 by the WHA Sustainable Infrastructure committee with the major goal being “to gather insights into sustainable infrastructure so that WHA’s members have reliable information on the value provided by sustainable infrastructure and development practices and to recognize the early adopters of such practices.” The Sustainability Stars that can be earned are the Investigation, Inspiration, Investment, Integration, and Innovation stars. Each project submit can earn the appropriate stars at each stage of the project or all at once when complete.
The Queenston Manor Apartment Homes was award the Inspiration, Integration, Investigation & Investment stars. This apartment complex uses multiple low impact development (LID) techniques to reduce the requirement for detention and increase the value of the property by building more apartment homes. Though it may appear to look like any other apartment complex in the area, with cisterns below the permeable parking surfaces and storm water rain gardens built into the open green spaces, EHRA Engineering helped develop a worthwhile and environmentally friendly solution after industry detention standards wouldn’t do.”
Congratulations to both Chris and Adam for their accomplishments.
