San Jacinto River Authority: 2016 Water Transmission System

SPI was selected to perform all design services for the C2 segment of the SJRA’s transmission system, which is part of the Montgomery County area Groundwater Reduction Plan being administered by SJRA. SPI’s segment consisted of approximately 35,000 linear feet of water line, ranging in diameter from 12 inches to 42 inches. Project components included preliminary and final design, construction phase services, topographic survey, right-of-way mapping for approximately 100 easements, geotechnical investigations, coordination with numerous agencies having jurisdiction, coordination with property owners, and coordination with major utility owners (Entergy and Kinder Morgan Pipeline, among others).

For this project, SPI took a very active role in ensuring that the City of Conroe was well informed of, and comfortable with, the planned alignment.Numerous route alternatives and adjustments had to be considered to accommodate physical obstructions, utility company requirements, property owner desires, budget, and a strict deadline for project completion.
