SAMPLE PROJECTS

WESTWINDS MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas

The project involved approximately 600 acres of residential,

commercial, school and recreational park development. My tasks included

preparing development plan and extensive research in preparing stormwater

reports, tree delineation plan, utility reports. The development plan

included extensive design of streets, detention ponds, storm drains,

sanitary sewer system that included lift station and force main, potable

water system, and site grading. In addition to this I prepared cost

estimates for streets, drainage structures, sewer, and waters system. In

addition I have been a part of several other master development plans of

minimum of 300 acres: Mesa Del Norte, Sonoma Ranch, Trophy Ridge,

Grandview, and Mountain Lodge.

WESTWINDS EAST UNIT-2 PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT (PUD) San Antonio, Bexar

County, Texas

Westwinds East, Unit-2 is a 30.74-acre single-family residential

subdivision in the northwest of Bexar County that consists of 68 lots. On

this project, I was responsible for all the design for streets, drainage

channel, sewer and water systems, and preparation of the subdivision plat.

The project involved analyzing approximately 3,930 linear feet of unnamed

tributary of Culebra Creek. Based on the ultimate discharge I designed an

improved 3,930 linear feet of earthen channel and a multiple box culvert

structure for future development. I created an ultimate development HEC-RAS

model from the existing model and modeled the improved channel and box

culvert to define a 100-year ultimate development flood plain for the site.

I performed similar design and/or analysis tasks for the over 50

subdivisions.

LONESTAR PARKWAY (STREET RIGHT OF WAY) San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas

Westwinds Unit-10A is an 86-foot major thoroughfare with four 12-foot

lanes divided by a 14' median. This project included 4,222 LF of street

extension that connected existing Lonestar Parkway to Texas Department of

Transportation (TXDOT) Hwy FM471 (Culebra Rd). I established the horizontal

alignment and vertical grades for this street. As part of street design, I

also established grades for several intersecting streets, including a

detailed striping plan for the intersection of Culebra Rd and Lonestar

Parkway. I coordinated with TXDOT regarding the future design of the

street and the drainage improvements along the new FM 471. In addition I

have worked on Westwinds Unit-9 (Westwood Loop - 3,733 LF), Westwinds

Wildpine (Wildpine - 1,360 LF), Westwinds Wildpine, Phase II (Wildpine

-2,631 LF), Stevens Ranch Parkway Unit-1 (Stevens Ranch Parkway - 3,400 LF)

TUSCANY HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL NEISD, San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas

For this 22.98-acre proposed elementary school site, I designed public

drainage system meeting City of San Antonio requirements and also based on

the site layout I designed the private drainage system for the entire

school. I also designed 1,560 feet of on-site sanitary sewer main and

prepared a Sewer Collection System Application as required by TCEQ. I

designed the vertical and horizontal alignment of the drainage system that

included junction boxes, grate inlets, and 4-way inlets. In addition to

this project, I performed similar design and/or analysis tasks for the

following project: Bulverde Green Elementary School- NEISD (20.18 Acres)

LONGHORN QUARRY NEW ATHLETIC STADIUM San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas

The sport complex consists of three facilities; an athletic stadium

facility with 11,000 seats, a convocation center/sport arena with 12,000

seats and a baseball stadium with 2,000 seats. I was involved in preparing

a Master Drainage Plan for the athletic stadium that included parking lots

and open spaces around the stadium. I prepared construction plans and

assisted other E.I.T's in preparing Stormwater Management Report in

compliance with City of San Antonio's requirement.

DRAINAGE STUDIES:

E HOUSTON STREET BRIDGE HYDROLOGY AND HYDRAULIC:

Using the preliminary DFIRM model run the existing conditions model to

determine the 100-year water surface elevation and its impact on the

existing structure. The steps involved obtaining a preliminary DFIRM model,

analyzing existing conditions. Verify the existing HEC-RAS model with field

verified data and correct any discrepancies. Modify the existing conditions

model and include cross-section and the new proposed bridge structure and

determine its impact for flooding and 2000' downstream habitable

structures. Recommended appropriate channel modification and solutions to

maintain safe water surface elevation and water velocities. For E Houston

Street project I was involved in the Hydraulic and Hydrology analysis for

replacing existing bridge with a 300ft single slab bridge and designing

appropriate channel structure underneath the bridge. In addition to this,

I was involved in Hydraulic analysis of Laredo St. Bridge, W. W. White Rd.

Bridge, Mulberry and Millrace Bridge.

WESTWINDS MASTER DRIANAGE PLAN (1500 Acres) San Antonio, Bexar County,

Texas

Design Engineer responsible for developing the Ultimate Condition

Drainage Master Plan and preparing flood studies for the proposed

development. The project involved analyzing approximately 3,930 linear feet

of unnamed tributary of Culebra Creek. There was an original HEC-RAS model

that delineated an existing condition 100-year flood plain for this site.

According to the City of San Antonio requirements all of the proposed

development house pads shall be placed outside of 100-year ultimate

development flood plain. I created an updated ultimate development master

drainage plan that was ultimately used to design all the units with

Westwinds Master Development Plan (MDP) No. 808-E. I performed the

hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the entire area using HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS

and City of San Antonio, Bexar County and FEMA guidelines. I modeled and

analyzed several culvert crossings for the various storm events. I computed

water surface elevations for existing, proposed and ultimate conditions and

mapped the 100-year floodplain of creek tributaries. I was also responsible

for submittals, comments, responses and approval from Bexar County, City of

San Antonio.

HILLS @ BOERNE STAGE (296.95-Acre) San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas

Hills @ Boerne Stage II, PUD is a 296.95-acre single-family

residential subdivision consisting of 126 lots ranging from 1.1-acres to

5.4-acres, located near the intersection of Boerne Stage Road and

Interstate Highway 10. The proposed improvements for this property include

residential lots, a park, and a water production facility. My primary task

was conducting stormwater analyses in order to determine the impacts to

habitable structures 2000 feet downstream and to delineate the variable

width drainage easement within the property due to increased impervious

cover. Using HEC-RAS and the proposed ultimate discharges from the site I

delineated 100-year flood plain 2000 feet downstream. I prepared a

detailed master drainage plan for the PUD and identified culvert crossings,

earthen channels, and curb inlets. I also completed construction plans and

prepared hydraulic calculations for each culvert crossing as well as for

drainage channels leading to Leon Creek.

WESTWINDS WEST DENTENTION BASIN (250 Acre) San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas

Design Engineer responsible for analyzing the impacts of the proposed

development on an unnamed tributary to Medio Creek and design of a

detention pond to offset the increase in runoff due to the proposed

development. Westwinds West is an approximately 250 acre single-family

residential development located in western Bexar County in the City of San

Antonio, Texas. I designed a detention pond using Hydraflow Modified

Rational Method. I performed the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the

entire area using HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS.
