Highway

Stretching scarce tax dollars into long lasting, multi-user corridors.

Long gone are the days of wide open seas of pavement, where pedestrians and cyclists battle for a piece of the road.  A holistic view of all users and the services that lie underneath and fly overhead is critical to the successful rehabilitation or reconstruction of a roadway corridor.  Careful planning and coordination of water, sewer, stormwater, gas, electricity, telephone, and cable reduce the disruption of our daily lives.  Our clients can testify that when we apply our experience to all of these factors, the result is a beautiful thing.

Water Resources

Guiding water to where it belongs.

Dealing with water is a daily occurrence for our civil engineers.  The joke around our office regarding civil engineering is “water flows downhill.”  Except when it doesn’t or at least doesn’t seem to, that’s when we are put to the test.  Streambank stabilization projects have been a common occurrence with the severity of recent storm events.  However, many of our greatest challenges are faced handling drainage within roadway corridors or newly developed sites and treating this stormwater in a sustainable way.  In any case, we can help get your water where it needs to go.

Airports

Come fly with us!

The convenience and flexibility of private and corporate air travel continue to drive activity at our local general aviation airports.  These drivers can necessitate improvements to worn-down components as well as new facilities.  FAA funding is critical to these efforts and compliance with the accompanying requirements are a must.

Site

Eliminate the unknowns and let HEB guide your development.

Over the years, development has left very few remaining easy sites. Therefore, situating your buildings, parking, green space, drainage, and utilities often relies on a good mixture of art and science. A deep understanding of the Planning and Zoning processes in a hands-on way is also key to timely development.
