The Problem

Original plat of this property showed a 2-acre area of regulatory floodplain encroaching into site, deemed to be impossible to reclaim by the owner. This area was virtually the heart of this proposed development on White Rock Creek.

The Problem

The City of Benbrook wanted a permanent silt trap constructed upstream from existing culverts.

Sewer Rehabilitation Project

The Problem

One of the major sanitary sewer lines assigned to my design team ran directly under a parking lot currently filled with recreational vehicles. The lot owner refused to move the vehicles though they were technically parked over a utility easement. We were assured the problem would escalate to a legal battle before any vehicles were moved.

Residential – Fort Worth

The Problem

Bear Creek was adjacent to the perimeter of this proposed project. Significant flooding problems have been associated with this creek for decades. The client believed that without the reclamation of the lots along the perimeter, the project would not be profitable.

Small Aircraft Hanger Expansion

The Problem

Long, narrow building proposed for site would require a large amount of excavation and haul off to accommodate the new flat slab. The existing terrain was relatively steep and no other location was appropriate.

Condominium Site – Arlington

The Problem

Corps of Engineers determined that existing creek was jurisdictional waters of the U.S. The downstream existing residential development had a history of flooding problems prior to any development from this new condo site.

Harriett Creek Bridge in North Fort Worth

The Problem

The City of Fort Worth retained our firm to resolve a situation where children from a nearby elementary school were forced to use a 5' wide sidewalk area for both pedestrian and bike traffic immediately adjacent to car traffic.  The neighborhood wanted an aesthetically-pleasing crash barrier to be designed to protect the children

Millennium II

The Problem

Large client wanted to construct two large industrial buildings on a site within a 55-acre Millennium Office Park, which was itself still under design at the time. The resulting large flat pad sites would not fit the adjacent street profile and would require large retaining walls and limited access points.
