EHRA was selected as one of two firms to provide professional surveying services under contract to Houston Community College System.
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 designed an expansion that implemented the installation of a new triplex lift station operating in conjunction with the existing duplex lift station.
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.
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.
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!
