Experience with other drainage projects:

Drainage Study/ Winfield Master Development Plan, Laredo, Texas: Performed detailed drainage study for the 600.0 acre watershed, analyzed the existing culverts under Loop 20 (TxDOT) within the relevant watershed and provided designs for the modified channel in the downstream side. The study also included several detention pond designs in order to eliminate the downstream impact from the developments.

Drainage Study/ McDonough Master Development Plan, San Antonio, Texas (104.0 acre tract): Prepared the Master Development Plan (MDP) which included the detailed drainage analysis of Upper Leon Creek Watershed. The hydrologic and hydraulic models for Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) Study were used in the drainage analysis.

Drainage Study/ McDonough Water Project, San Antonio, Texas: Analyzed 10.5 Sq. mile watershed in Leon Creek for the feasibility study of this water project. The study estimated the receivable runoff from Leon Creek beyond the 2 year storm event. The study also included the considerations of annual average precipitation in the relevant watershed.
