The facility features an activated sludge process system. Additionally, the facility is equipped with an emergency standby diesel generator.
EHRA completed preliminary engineering, phase one environmental site assessment and schematic development for the widening of Northpark Dr. between US 59 and Woodland Hills Dr. EHRA also provided program management, drainage analysis and design, traffic engineering, environmental documentation and schematic design for the roadway, as well as grade separation at the Loop 494/UPRR railroad crossing.
EHRA conducted traffic operations and access management studies for the Northpark Dr. corridor. This corridor is approximately 2.2 miles long and has major signalized and unsignalized intersections and driveways that access various subdivisions and industrial developments. These studies laid the groundwork for the widening of Northpark Dr. from a four-lane boulevard cross-section to a six-lane boulevard complete street. The new street design includes low impact development drainage, conventional drainage, a grade separation at the UPRR crossing with mechanically stabilized earth retaining walls, two at-grade crossings for bi-directional frontage access, reconstruction of two concrete bridges over a diversion channel, intersection improvements, a roadway-adjacent multiuse path and traffic signal improvements.
Drainage analysis and design included hydrologic and hydraulic studies of both existing and proposed conditions to demonstrate that proposed project components would not adversely affect the 100-year floodplain in the area. The roadway and traffic designs contained horizontal and vertical alignments, cross-sections, plan and profile, sidewalk and bicycle accommodations, intersection layouts, traffic control plans and signing and pavement markings.
As the program management firm, EHRA coordinated with TxDOT, UPRR, the City of Houston Council District E, COH Planning and Development Department, COH Public Works and Engineering Department, Montgomery County, Harris County, HCFCD and area residents throughout the project.
EHRA assisted with the district creation of Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 126 to accommodate a ±329 acre master planned community located in northern Montgomery County in the City of Conroe, south of League Line Road, west of Longmire Road, and adjacent to Lake Conroe.
The purpose of this project was to convert the existing at-grade crossing of Brazoria County Road 56 (CR 56) and State Highway 288 (SH 288) into a diamond interchange that includes a new overpass bridge and providing access to the newly developed Meridiana Development. Coordination with TXDOT, area landowners, utility companies, and Brazoria County was integral in obtaining approval and acceptance of the project. The main design challenge for this project was to accommodate double intersections on the west side of SH 288 to tie into existing access roads with two-way traffic and a new southbound on-ramp within a close proximity. EHRA coordinated with TxDOT throughout the project from preliminary concepts for the intersection and bridge through final design and construction. Each component of this project was designed in accordance with TxDOT standards and criteria.
EHRA conducted a traffic engineering study to identify the impacts of a proposed master development located near the intersection of FM 1488 and Peoples Road in the City of Conroe.
EHRA launched a new corporate website this week. Ehrainc.com uses modern website architecture and the latest technologies to deliver information about the company to users. In addition to a responsive design to accommodate a wide range of screen sizes and devices, the new site has an easy-to-use interface to make it easy to find information on the site, which is built on an enterprise-level platform.
The EHRA website describes and illustrates work from each of the company’s practice areas. Practice area leaders and their experience are also showcased. EHRA has been involved in engineering Houston for more than 80 years and the site includes information on the company’s long and rich history, as well as current client testimonials, career opportunities, and bid information.
A blog which feeds into the company’s social media sites has also been incorporated on the new site, which will allow the company a quick and easy way to communicate.
“This new website is a great tool allowing us to provide better service to our business partners,” according to EHRA Principal Jim Russ.
The new website was designed and developed by Boe Creative Digital, a Houston-based digital marketing agency. In addition to the new website, the firm also designed a new brochure for EHRA which was released earlier this year.
For more than 80 years, EHRA has provided exceptional engineering services in the greater Houston area. The company provides public infrastructure, transportation, hydraulics and hydrology, land planning, land development, land surveying, construction phase services, and landscape architecture services. Each of these practice areas work together to serve city, county, state, and other governmental agencies along with single-family, retail and commercial development.
