On-going surveying for property acquisition and engineering design surveys of re-routing of Buffalo Bayou north of downtown Houston between North Main Street and McKee Street. Services to be provided include “soundings” for Buffalo and White Oak Bayous.
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 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.
EHRA designed an expansion that implemented the installation of a new triplex lift station operating in conjunction with the existing duplex lift station.
EHRA offered its Landscape Architectural services to complete a Parks and Trails Master Plan for the District.
It goes without saying that a lot has changed since EHRA opened its doors in 1936. Our humble beginnings as a mom-and-pop company on the outskirts of town is not lost on us. Workplace culture matters and through careful and thoughtful leadership, we have managed to strike a balance between our family values while remaining competitive in our rapidly evolving world.
In March 2020 we moved into a new building. We remain in the Westchase District, central to our local clients, however we took the opportunity to upgrade all our technology, creating a building as ‘smart’ as it is beautiful. A big thank you to our building committee. This was fortunate as it allowed us to transition from our traditional work in the office to a very efficient remote work program. A safer, COVID-friendly and needed program to provide our team members with flexibility.
We were named a 2020 ‘Best Place to Work’ by the Houston Chronicle. An accolade that is important to EHRA leadership and shows a tangible measure to our success of keeping a work/life balance within our ranks. Our values have always dictated putting our team and clients first. Something that we value immensely and something we will never lose. Our business is about people; building communities and relationships, honest communication and taking care of each other.
Another way EHRA consistently looks towards the future is through our recruiting practices. We are constantly searching for bright young talent to potentially take the reins for the next generation. We have a robust internship program which has shown us great success. Currently, three of our partners started here as interns and we embolden our Project Managers to teach and mentor our young professionals. This apprenticeship tradition is at the core of our values, and our open-door policy has proven successful to foster open communication.
Our future is bright, we know which direction we are headed, and with the proper attention and respect given to our beginnings we know we will create a workplace to be proud of for generations to come.
