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.
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.
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 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 completed a site-specific planning and visioning study for the proposed 470-acre San Jacinto Boulevard District (SJBD) in Baytown, Texas.
This year has brought exciting growth and opportunities to EHRA Engineering’s Public Infrastructure Team. This includes a strategic and refined structure introduced earlier this year that enhances how we deliver professional engineering services across the Greater Houston region.
The team’s new structure distinguishes its current core service areas: Transportation, Traffic and Structures. Each of our service areas is led by an Assistant Director—Fred Signorelli, PE leading Transportation, Mohammad Huq, PE, PTOE heading Traffic and Carlos Flores, PE leading Structures—giving each discipline room to specialize and grow under this generation of experienced and strong leadership. As our work continues to expand, this structure allows for a focused and collaborative approach, ultimately strengthening the delivery of service we provide to our clients.
Over the past six months, we have welcomed four new team members to the Public Infrastructure Team, and we are excited to be adding three more in early June. This growth not only speaks to the rising demand for our expertise but also to the culture of opportunity we are building within the team.
Our Traffic group continues to meet the growing demand for in-house traffic needs, including Traffic Impact Analyses (TIAs) for many of our new developments and designing traffic signal improvements and safety enhancements for public agency projects across the region.
Our Transportation team plays a key role in supporting the engineering work tied to recently passed bond initiatives within the counties we serve in the Greater Houston region and beyond. Their efforts are complemented by the Structures team, who not only support public infrastructure projects but also oversees internal structural design needs across the firm.
EHRA’s Public Infrastructure Team is a great example of how our in-house, multi-disciplinary approach works so successfully. Many of our public infrastructure projects are multi-faceted and draw from all three of the core services. The strong communication between project managers and their teams allows us to navigate complex challenges more seamlessly and keep things moving forward. This collaborative approach and integrated structure help us deliver thoughtful, well-rounded solutions and reflects the way our entire firm works together across the many disciplines to best serve our clients and communities.
Working closely with the Public Infrastructure team and enhancing this technical expertise is the support of our Government Relations Team comprised of Grant & Government Relations Specialist, Amanda Stevens, and EHRA Consultant and former Fulshear Mayor, Aaron Groff. Their established experience in working directly within both Waller County and Fort Bend County created an invaluable foundation for strengthening relationships
within the firm’s targeted counties and municipalities. Their continued efforts and ongoing focus ensures that our engineering efforts align with regional priorities. Their insight and engagement provide valuable direction that empowers our Public Infrastructure team to deliver tailored, high-impact solutions.
At EHRA, we are proud to foster a culture of innovation, professional growth and shared success. As we continue expanding our footprint across the Greater Houston region and into new markets, the momentum within the Public Infrastructure team reflects our broader mission to deliver engineering solutions that support thriving communities and a resilient future.
