Background and Discussion:
This project is located in the Greens Bayou watershed near Highway 90 and Beltway 8. The Beaumont Place subdivision consists of mainly roadside ditches and has been subjected to several flooding events with the most recent being Hurricane Harvey (August 2017) and the Tax Day Flood (April 2016). The scope and proposed improvements include roadside ditch regrading, driveway culvert upgrades, concrete lined Sulphur Gully channel with reinforced concrete box (RCB) crossing improvements.
Expected Impact:
This project seeks to reduce flooding and strengthen resiliency in Harris County by assisting in the alleviation of structural flood damage to homes in the Beaumont Place subdivision.

This testing will ensure the material's compliance with Harris County Engineering and other governing bodies specifications as required by state law.
