MUD 188

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.

Cutten Green Park Northwest Harris County MUD No.6

This project was the second phase of parks implementation outlined in the District's Parks Master Plan, which was completed by EHRA in 2007. Utilizing the site of a recently demolished former wastewater treatment plant provided an opportunity to create a passive park space for District residents.

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.

Towne Lake

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.

Ship Channel Bridge

Admin

The Houston Ship Channel is a busy place, and widening the Sam Houston Tollway will require new twin bridges across the Houston Ship Channel.The main span of each of the cable-stayed bridges will be 1,320 ft, and they will provide four toll lanes and full shoulders in both directions. One of the largest challenges is the coordination of the construction processes amid 120 major utility pipelines and bustling UPRR and PTRA rail lines at one of the country’s busiest seaports, says Mike Perez, Harris County Toll Road Authority senior staff engineer. Another challenge is poor soils at the site, which will require the drill shafts for pylons to be more than 200 ft deep, he says.
