Harris County MUD 449 Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion

Facilities requiring expansion were also common wall construction, and the EHRA team converted the facilities into aerobic digesters and sludge thickeners.

Meridiana

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.

Greens Bayou Trail Phase 1

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.

Water Crest Development

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.

League Line

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.

Harris County MUD 64 Celebrates Groundbreaking of Callegari Park

Admin

On Saturday, July 23^rd, EHRA took part in the groundbreaking for a new park inside the Katy neighborhood of Lakeview, to be named Callegari Park, after former Texas State Representative William Anthony Callegari, Sr., known as Bill Callegari.

The event was hosted by Harris County M.U.D. 64. The new multi-use park will be approximately 3.5 acres and will boast multiple playgrounds, an educational butterfly garden, a pavilion, multiple fitness stations and .35 miles of concrete trail. The park will be accessible by a 17-space parking lot adjacent to Repiton Way.

EHRA is the district engineer for Harris County M.U.D. 64 and completed the site civil engineering for this project. In addition, EHRA worked with landscape architect Murr Incorporated Landscape Consultants on the new park. EHRA Senior Principal Jim Russ is also a long-time friend and colleague of Bill Callegari.

"I am incredibly flattered yet humble and appreciative that Harris County M.U.D. 64 felt my contributions were deserving of such an accolade,” commented Callegari, who was delighted to learn that EHRA, Jim Russ and Michael Murr were directly involved in the project. “Knowing these two companies and individuals are involved, I know this park will be one the community will be able to enjoy for years to come," he added.

Representative Bill Callegari represented the Katy area since his election to the Texas State House of Representatives in 2000. Mr. Callegari has passed several bills to eliminate unnecessary government functions, lower citizens’ tax burdens, and improve accountability until his retirement from office in 2014. Representative Callegari has worked on many water policies, eminent domain, transportation, low income housing reform, and government streamlining during his tenure in the House.

A Licensed Professional Engineer for over four decades, Callegari holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Agricultural Engineering from Louisiana State University and a Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Houston. Callegari and his wife, Ann, have been happily married for more than 50 years and have four children and eleven grandchildren. He retired in January of 2015 and now enjoys life with his wife in the Katy area.
