Garver served as the prime engineering consultant for the schematic and final design phases, and also performed construction inspection services for Hays County Low Water Crossing improvements. The project included performing hydrologic/hydraulic analysis, structural design, schematic roadway design, and cost estimating for 15 low water crossings in Precincts 1 and 2. Construction support and daily activity documents were provided by Garver for the Chaparral Park Road, Cotton Gin, Francis Harris Lane, Bear Creek, and the Turnersville Road sites.
Projects included reinforced concrete boxes, continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP), head and wing walls, asphalt placement, subgrade, select fill, flex base, widening, adding new safety guardrail, and streambank stabilization.
Chaparral Park Road included replacing the existing corrugated metal pipes, improving the width, pavement section of the road, new safety guard rail, streambank stabilization, 500 linear feet of guard rail installation along the pavement edge for traffic protection, and drainage improvements including new culvert and slope protection.
Cotton Gin Road included replacing existing undersized corrugated metal pipes, about 200 linear feet of new safety guard rails, widening of existing roadway, revegetation, drainage improvements including new culvert and slope protection, and streambank stabilization.
Francis Harris Lane included replacing existing two corrugated metal pipes with five 8-foot x 4-foot boxes to convey stormwater flows under the road, pavement widening, and installation of vehicular traffic safety rails at the creek crossings.
Turnersville Road improvements consist of a Low Water Crossing Culvert on Turnersville Road between Satterwhite Road and FM 2001. The project will remove and upgrade the low water crossing along Turnersville Road over Unnamed Creek 87. The project will also include the associated paving, grading and drainage improvements on the North and South approaches of the culvert.
