Houston Public Works
Learn More
KUO is the prime consultant for design and construction phase services for this project. The project includes a 2-mile-long, 48-inch water transmission line design and roadway schematic, drainage, ditch regrading, replacement of culverts, reconstruction of driveways and sidewalks, and small-diameter water line replacement along the alignment. The project has geotechnical, environmental, and drainage studies with reports. The project is partially located within the Floodway and 100-year and 500-year flood zones. The project alignment is across multiple pipelines, the HCFCD channel, the TxDOT roadway, and geological faults. KUO developed alignment design and PS&E preparation, coordinating with multiple public and private entities and making special provisions as required. The project is estimated to cost approximately $18M.

Martin Luther King BLVD Reconstruction, Houston, Tx. Atkins
Learn More
KUO performed engineering and surveying work for the reconstruction of the 1.3-mile segment of Martin Luther King Blvd. from 610 S to Bellfort Avenue. Engineering design and construction support services for the utilities completed by KUO included the design of all the wastewater and water lines. Key design challenges included encroachments, flat grades making connections to existing lines challenging, elimination, and in some cases connections to side lot/back lot sewer mains. In the early stages of the design, constraints such as encroachments were delineated and coordinated with the project owner prior to confirming preliminary alignments.
A topographic survey in the area required a survey of side-lot easements requiring right-of-entries and detailed easement research work. The work required coordination with the city, businesses, and residential property owners to access existing manholes located in side-lot easements and backyards with right-of-entries. Several manholes were covered, requiring tracing, and uncovering to obtain inverts.
Throughout the design cycle, several utilities were investigated, and findings were utilized in guiding the design. For each submittal, a detailed list of utility conflicts was provided in a table and coordinated with the utility owners to minimize conflicts. KUO performed the necessary facility relocation coordination and confirmation with the facility owners and obtained the necessary signatures on the plans.
