The project focused on preventing road and airstrip flooding during a 25-year storm event and addressing wider drainage challenges at North Fort Cavazos. Enhancements covered five areas: Area A, Area C, Area E, Longhorn Airfield, and Shorthorn Airfield, spanning 200 acres.

Major drainage improvements were carried out, including erosion repair, sediment removal, stabilization of disturbed areas, and flood prevention measures for infrastructure. Tasks included installing culverts, headwalls, inlets, trapezoidal channels, and increasing ditch capacities. Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) were implemented, along with the resolution of failures identified during site investigations.

Kenall collaborated with stakeholders through on-site design charrettes and review meetings. Detailed drawings and technical specifications were developed using AutoCAD Civil 3D, ensuring effective coordination.

Work performed on this project was completed under the Kenall-Freese & Nichols 8a Mentor-Protégé Joint Venture (KFNI JV).
