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. Coordination with TXDOT, area landowners, utility companies, and Brazoria County was integral in obtaining approval and acceptance of the project.
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.
EHRA worked with the District to create a comprehensive Parks Master Plan, which included recommendations for the development of over two miles of hike/bike trails adjacent to local streets, and within flood control and utility pipeline easements. The District began implementation of the Plan by prioritizing the beautification of West Road, a major arterial street that runs through the District.
EHRA was selected as one of two firms to provide professional surveying services under contract to Houston Community College System.
Project totaled 640 acres including 1256 Residential Lots. EHRA designed, created construction plans, publicly bid and preformed Construction management.
Congratulations to Chris Browne and Adam McGovern for their recent awards from the West Houston Association. Chris Browne was awarded the Sustainability Stars Award. Adam McGovern was awarded the Most Outstanding Committee Member -2018.
Sustainability Stars Awards go to projects that were outstanding examples of sustainable practices in the Greater West Houston region.“The Sustainability Stars Award was established in 2017 by the WHA Sustainable Infrastructure committee with the major goal being “to gather insights into sustainable infrastructure so that WHA’s members have reliable information on the value provided by sustainable infrastructure and development practices and to recognize the early adopters of such practices.” The Sustainability Stars that can be earned are the Investigation, Inspiration, Investment, Integration, and Innovation stars. Each project submit can earn the appropriate stars at each stage of the project or all at once when complete.
The Queenston Manor Apartment Homes was award the Inspiration, Integration, Investigation & Investment stars. This apartment complex uses multiple low impact development (LID) techniques to reduce the requirement for detention and increase the value of the property by building more apartment homes. Though it may appear to look like any other apartment complex in the area, with cisterns below the permeable parking surfaces and storm water rain gardens built into the open green spaces, EHRA Engineering helped develop a worthwhile and environmentally friendly solution after industry detention standards wouldn’t do.”
Congratulations to both Chris and Adam for their accomplishments.
