EHRA performed preliminary drainage area delineations for nine creek crossings and calculated approximate 100-year flows for each culvert crossing. Culvert structures were sized for each of the six crossings, ranging from 48” round pipe culverts up to dual 5’x5’ box culverts.
EHRA was selected as one of two firms to provide professional surveying services under contract to Houston Community College System.
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 completed a site-specific planning and visioning study for the proposed 470-acre San Jacinto Boulevard District (SJBD) in Baytown, Texas.
EHRA was selected by the client to provide engineering design and to serve as District Engineer for the 2,400 acre Towne Lake Development. Our survey department retraced the overall boundary and performed a topographic survey of the site.
1. There are many different routes to take in engineering. Why did you choose this route?
I honestly fell into it. I applied for many many jobs my last year of college and happened to interview with EHRA Engineering. I think the years that followed proved it to be a great choice. I feel my job really does make a difference in people's lives and its impact can be seen in the communities we create.
2. Did you always know you wanted to become a civil engineer?
I'm actually a 3rd generation civil engineer (Dad and Grandpa)! I remember going to work with my dad at a very young age not knowing what he did but knowing there were colored pencils to play with. I always thought it was a noble profession and a path I could take and succeed in.
3. What was your favorite EHRA project that you’ve worked on and why?
My favorite project I've worked on is Ventana Lakes East. I think it's my favorite because it was the first project I got to work on at EHRA Engineering. It dawned on me the effect we have as engineers because it was the first time I saw residents move into the neighborhood we helped create. Also, because EHRA is the MUD Engineer for the district, I can still be involved in the community.
4. If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three engineering tools would you want?
I would bring 0 engineering tools. I would bring a gallon of sunscreen, an umbrella and a fully stocked kindle.
5. If you could design a futuristic city, what’s one must-have feature?
High speed commuter train!
