Inwood Forest Stormwater Detention Basin

Inwood Forest Stormwater Detention Basin Houston, Texas The project included the conversion of 226-acres of golf course fairways into regional detention basins through an interlocal agreement between Harris County Flood Control District and the City of Houston. This project represents the largest single-phase dirt moving effort in the Flood Control District’s 88-year history. It is transforming the site into 12 interconnected compartments, designed to mitigate impacts of future City of Houston local drainage improvements and help reduce flooding risks in a historically vulnerable part of the city. The project encompasses property located both east of Antoine and west of Antoine, with a total of 12 interconnected compartments. The project is currently in construction and will provide approximately 1200 acre-feet of storage to the White Oak Bayou Watershed. At a Glance 226 Acres $71 million Project Cost “This project represents a historic milestone for Harris County Flood Control District, both in scale and impact. Converting more than 226 acres into interconnected regional detention basins required close coordination between agencies, thoughtful phasing, and precise execution. Once completed, the system will significantly enhance flood resilience for the White Oak Bayou watershed and surrounding communities.” Mark Rotz, PE Project Manager Markets Land Development Services Land & Site Development

24-inch Putah South Canal Emergency Raw Water Repair

24-inch Putah South Canal Emergency Raw Water Repair Benicia, California DCCM provided construction management and full-time inspection services for the City of Benicia’s 24-inch Putah South Canal Emergency Raw Water Repair Project. The emergency repair addressed a critical raw water transmission line extending from private property near Watt Court, beneath Interstate 80, and into City of Fairfield property. Due to the pipeline’s importance and its location within a major transportation corridor, the project required accelerated construction, careful coordination, and strict traffic control and safety oversight. Construction activities included traffic control along the westbound shoulder of Interstate 80, excavation of entry and exit pits, slip lining of an 18-inch fusible PVC pipe, hydrostatic testing, and full site restoration. DCCM supported the City throughout all phases of construction, providing daily field inspection, documentation, safety compliance monitoring, and traffic control oversight to ensure work conformed to project plans, specifications, and regulatory requirements.  Construction management services included coordination with City staff, the contractor, property owners, and the design team; administration of submittals, RFIs, and change orders; cost and schedule monitoring; and preparation of progress reports and pay estimate recommendations. DCCM also supported project closeout by verifying punch list completion, reviewing record drawings, and delivering complete construction documentation. The project was successfully completed under emergency conditions while maintaining safety, quality, and schedule objectives.  At a Glance $97,000 Project Cost Markets Water Services Transportation Water & Wastewater

42-inch Water Line Design, Segment 3 A1

42-inch Water Line Design, Segment 3 A1 Harris County, Texas DCCM provided final design and construction phase services for 14,000 linear feet of 42-inch water transmission line within a CenterPoint Energy electric transmission line corridor and easement. This water line is part of the West Harris County Regional Water Authority’s (WHCRWA) 2025 system, which will meet at least 60% of water demand with surface water. This is the latest project in a long history of working with WHCRWA to supply their surface water requirements. The project involved installing water lines in CenterPoint Energy’s electrical transmission line corridor for miles. Trenchless construction was required within 20 feet of truss towers and across busy roadways. Close coordination was maintained with the City of Houston and Harris County for permitting and the acquisition of record drawings. Collaboration with the design engineer ensured a proper connection to an 84-inch water line. Additionally, coordination with multiple petroleum pipelines and dry utilities in CenterPoint Energy’s corridor was necessary.

SH 249 (Tomball Tollway), Phases I and II

SH 249 (Tomball Tollway), Phases I and II Tomball and Montgomery County, Texas DCCM was contracted by the Harris County Toll Road Authority (HCTRA) as the Program Management Consultant (PMC) for the design and management of both preliminary and final project designs, as well as construction management and inspection services for Phase II. We developed a project feasibility assessment, which resulted in the SH 249 (Tomball Tollway), Phases I and II engineering feasibility report, and served as the basis for the final design. On its first day of operation, eager toll users doubled the projected 17,000 daily toll transactions, cutting traffic on the existing frontage road in half. Funded entirely with toll road revenue paid by drivers who choose to use the Harris County toll road system, the final construction will extend the toll road into Montgomery and Grimes Counties to SH 105, streamlining trips to and from rapidly growing Grimes County and College Station. Phase I: Spring Cypress Road to FM 2920 This project provided travelers with four main lanes in each direction and was constructed between the existing TxDOT northbound and southbound non-tolled frontage roads. As PMC for HCTRA, DCCM completed an aggressive 9-month design program to deliver plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for HCTRA to bid and construct this phase. DCCM provided leadership, schedule adherence, quality assurance, and oversight to 17 consultants, completing the PS&E for four new toll lanes in each direction along a 6-mile stretch of SH 249, adding five new bridges, retaining walls, and a drainage system that mitigates flooding. Drivers may now bypass seven stoplights while the frontage roads remain toll-free. All milestone submittals were met on time, and the project was constructed in only 16 months and under three construction contracts. Phase I was open to traffic in April 2015 and is exceeding all revenue forecasts.  Phase II: FM 2920 to Spring Creek (Harris/Montgomery County line) Design preparations for Phase II began in October 2014 with design revisions to the TxDOT 2006 SH 249 Schematic. As in Phase I, DCCM was the PMC for the design of four-lane toll lanes in each direction, adding three-lane frontage roads on both north- and southbound approaches, five major bridges, flood-mitigating storm sewer detention, a collegiate practice field, and equestrian and bike trails. Services also included computing cut-and-fill quantities for roadway sections, concrete and reinforcement steel quantities for bridge deck pours, and payments for such pours on the contractor’s pay estimate. DCCM monitored the roadway excavation, subgrade preparation, concrete milling, embankment placement for abutments, installation of drill shaft and foundations, concrete beam placement, asphalt pavement placement, bent footings, column, cap pours, reinforced earth walls, 18- to 36-inch reinforced concrete pipes, and various concrete box culverts. Our team oversaw construction management and inspection services for this segment of the project.  Phases I and II of the SH 249 (Tomball Tollway) project included environmental investigations and permitting, survey/ROW mapping, utility identification and assessment, subsurface utility engineering, and hydrologic and hydraulic modeling and detention pond design. DCCM also provided construction phase services for Phase II and the direct connectors at SH 99 (Grand Parkway). Mainlanes, Phase I, Section 1 – Montgomery County MCTRA selected DCCM to prepare PS&E for mainlane and ramp construction for a 0.4-mile section of tollway north of Tomball, Texas. The project scope included roadway geometric design, traffic control plans, removal plans, drainage plans with both open and closed systems, SWPPP, cross-sections, general notes, specifications, and construction cost estimates. The DCCM team coordinated with both adjacent designers on the Montgomery County segment and with the design and construction teams of the Harris County segment to the south to deliver a synchronized product that minimized impacts to travelers and adjacent property owners and reduced overall project costs.
