The project included demolition, new pavement, adjustments to the outbound Active Vehicle Barrier (AVB), and roadway geometry changes. Traffic signals, signs, and pavement markings were upgraded, while guardrails were extended, fences modernized, and stormwater systems enhanced. Completed in accordance with Unified Facilities Criteria and Army Design Criteria, the project addressed issues identified in a 2018 traffic study and improved overall efficiency.

Kenall led the engineering efforts for the project, including developing the bridge layout at Dairy Ashford and creating plans for bridge retaining walls. Their project tasks involved subsurface exploration, soil testing, engineering analysis, foundation recommendations, control surveys, and preparing construction drawings and specifications at various stages—30%, 60%, 90%, and 100%. They also provided cost estimates and carried out the required environmental assessment to ensure compliance.

Kenall provided thoughtful design solutions, adding visually appealing patterned concrete, sturdy ornamental security fence foundations, and reliable foundations for brick posts and light poles. These enhancements, coupled with structural updates to the platform and handicap-accessible ramps, fostered a more inclusive and attractive transit center that better serves the community’s needs.

Kenall’s responsibilities involved providing extensive design and specifications for the project with tasks consisting of pile supported floodwall and building, I-wall stability and seepage analysis and revetment design, and geotechnical engineering services including installing and sampling cone penetration tests and standard penetration test borings from both river barge and landside locations, reaching depths of up to 120 feet. They provided archaeological desktop survey and cultural investigation of soil samples per Louisiana SHPO. They conducted basic and advanced laboratory testing, performed detailed engineering analyses, and provided technical expertise for the development of recommendations for bulkheads, foundations, retaining walls, and pavement designs integrated into project plans and specifications. Kenall also managed construction activities for this project.

The projects involved reconstructing five lanes of concrete and asphalt pavement, upgrading and rehabilitating the storm sewer system, replacing utilities, enhancing landscapes, and installing modern streetlights and traffic signals. The work also featured the installation of 12-inch water lines, 12-inch and 18-inch wastewater lines, and new storm sewers, which effectively alleviated flooding across 900 acres of downtown Houston.

Kenall’s services included water and wastewater line engineering, pavement and storm drainage design, environmental site assessments (Phases I and II), topographic and right-of-way surveys, horizontal and vertical alignments, right-of-way mapping, and report preparation. The team also handled final construction drawings, specifications, cost estimates, bid phase assistance, construction phase services and construction management.

Clear Creek ACP was the focal point for determining traffic patterns and impacts, while operations at Santa Fe ACP were studied for alleviating congestion. Traffic counts were established through strategic placement of meters during various times, including before and after sporting events.
The findings were presented in an engineering report, which included a comprehensive traffic management plan, conceptual layouts for proposed alternatives, drainage analysis, fencing plans, and decision briefs with recommendations tailored to both ACPs. Conceptual layouts incorporated features such as a new parking lot for the stadium. Environmental data from the Clear Creek ACP area was analyzed to assess potential impacts of the proposed developments, while cost estimates for all alternatives were carefully prepared. Security and accessibility remained at the core of the proposed solutions. Work performed on this project was completed under the Kenall-Freese & Nichols 8a Mentor-Protégé Joint Venture (KFNI JV).
