...It was the flood water forces resulting from Hurricane Harvey that damaged both the hillside and building to the extent that the building needed to be closed.
...Many Low Impact Development Practices were used, including bioretention, bioswales, vegetated structural roadway shoulders, permeable pavers and rainwater harvesting and reuse.

...Harris County Precinct 4 decided to go with developing their new service center as a Low Impact Development site to implement the allowable practices in the counties Low Impact Development Design Manual...
Within the swales are a series of forebays that pond stormwater behind earthen berms, at the bottoms of which are 10” pipes that allow low flows through and extend time of concentration for larger...
The engineers were able to take advantage of using Harris County’s Low Impact Development (LID) regulations by increasing the time of concentration of storm water on this site.
...The LID solution nearly eliminate a detention pond and in the process gained three additional lots, or 15% more homes
...The LID solution nearly eliminated the need for a detention pond altogether and in the process gained three additional lots, or 15% more homes.
...Utilizing a dry swale as the primary conveyance feature, the design team explored the various biofiltration medias available for filtering pollutants.
...The completed lot shows clients how Low Impact Development can be used to increase aesthetic appeal, and increase time of concentration and decrease peak flows.
...The primary feature that makes Bagby Street a Greenroads design is a series of biofiltration planter boxes that line both sides of Bagby street and collect stormwater runoff, storing it and filtering...
Upon arrival, the complexities were apparent – there were three backed up detention ponds attempting to feed into the non-operational NSBB which in turn was trying to discharge into a completely backed...
Working with Construction EcoServices, the engineers at EHRA, Inc. rescued this project using Low Impact Development (LID).
...Located outside of the City of Houston in Fort Bend County, the single-family residential project known as Camellia is a great example of how Stormwater Multifunctional Design can benefit the community,...
