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.
Project totaled 640 acres including 1256 Residential Lots. EHRA designed, created construction plans, publicly bid and preformed Construction management.
EHRA worked with the District to create a comprehensive Parks Master Plan, which included recommendations for the development of over two miles of hike/bike trails adjacent to local streets, and within flood control and utility pipeline easements. The District began implementation of the Plan by prioritizing the beautification of West Road, a major arterial street that runs through the District.
This project was the second phase of parks implementation outlined in the District's Parks Master Plan, which was completed by EHRA in 2007. Utilizing the site of a recently demolished former wastewater treatment plant provided an opportunity to create a passive park space for District residents.
Identified as a top priority during the development of the District’s Parks Master Plan, this portion of trail was the first phase of over two miles of planned trails to provide connectivity and recreation for District residents.
EHRA was honored with a Houston’s Best PRISM award on Saturday, October 7th at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Houston. The highly-coveted PRISM Awards are presented annually to recognize excellence in all areas of the Houston home building industry.
The new EHRA company brochure was recognized as “Best Associate Brochure” at the awards. This brochure introduced a completely new graphic presentation of the company’s brand and expanded the company’s existing collateral to provide potential clients more information about the firm. In addition to the new brochure, the new look was also carried over to the new EHRA website which was launched in September.
Boe Creative Services, a local advertising, marketing and digital agency, designed the new brochure for EHRA, as well as created the new EHRAinc.com website.
“We are very honored to receive this recognition from our peers,” said Jim Russ, EHRA Principal. “We are committed to excellence in everything we do at EHRA and we wanted our marketing materials to have the same high-level of quality we provide in every practice area at EHRA.”
For more than 80 years, EHRA has provided exceptional engineering services in the greater Houston area. Civil engineering, land surveying, low impact developing, land planning, construction phase services, and landscape architecture are only a few of the many services offered.
