Site Development
Oakmont Addition
(340 S Parks Dr. Desoto Texas)
Is a 12 Lot subdivision project in the City of Desoto, that involved the analysis and engineering of 2 open detention ponds. ECIS, Inc coordinated with Freese and Nichols and the City of Desoto to make sure that the hydraulic as well as the hydrologic design was appropriate for the multi-house development.
ECIS,Inc also used EPA SWMM (Storm Water Management Model) which is a software simulation tool used for modeling and analyzing drainage systems particularly using the NRCS Drainage methodology with the production of rain gauges to mimic critical 100 year flood events.
10 Lot Subdivision City of Whitewright Texas
ECIS, Inc got approval by the City of Whitewright and their consulting review engineers from WSB on the 10 Lot subdivision that involves an underground detention system called Rainstore.
The underground detention system is stackable and can withstand traffic loads. ECIS, Inc used this solution with the addition of drainage swales to detain the excess runoff as a consequence of the development.
ECIS,Inc also prepared all the grading, 811-Digtess color coded utilities, and signs/illumination for the proposed residential streets.
Victory Hub Gas Station Longhorn Road FortWorth Texas
ECIS, Inc is in the process of getting the Grading Permit with the City of FortWorth. The Gas station project counts with 5 gas/diesel pumps, 4-Electric Vehicle Charging station and 9,143 SF of Commercial spaces including a restaurant, Convenience store and Retail Area.
The project also counts with an underground detention system (Stormtech MC-7200 Chamber System) to mitigate the excess of runoff. The underground detention system will be able to handle 382 Cubic Yard of Storm water to make sure the site remains dry during a 100-year critical storm event.
Canton Business Center (Schematic Design)
ECIS, Inc was contacted to create a schematic design for three commercial structures on the first floor such as a (gym, restaurant and retail) and appartments on the 2nd and 3rd floor of the new building. ECIS, Inc was able to create two options for our client one using modern architecture and another one using traditional brick architecture which is seen throughout the City of Canton.
Victory Terrace (6-Townhomes) Arlington Texas
The Victory Terrace Project is an exhilirating project in the City of Arlington very close to the Cowboys stadium. ECIS, Inc coordinated with the City engineers to mitigate the flood chance using an underground detention system (Rainstore) over the common access driveway.
ECIS, Inc created plans and profiles for the detention system and also 3 dimensional details for the outfall abiding by the requirements from the City of Arlington Unified Development Code (UDM).
We provided grading plans, paving plans, Water and Sanitary Sewer Plans and Profiles, Potable Water and Sanitary Sewer Connection Details, Erosion Control including Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP)- Best Management Practices -BMPS. Used the International Plumbing Code to make sure that the sizing of the Water Meters was adequate for the 6 units demands.
4300 Cynthia Street Bellaire Texas (Single Family Residence in Flood Area)
ECIS, Inc was contacted to aid on the engineering design for a challenging project in a flood area. The structure counts with a crawling space and the grading work cannot disturb the soil more than 1% and the Volume of excavation and fill must be balanced.
Drainage Patterns must also not be modified, the use of swales to direct flows towards the street was highly encouraged.
The Finished Floor Elevation (F.F.E.) has to be a 500 year flood interval critical rain event plus 1 foot, meaning that the crawl space has to be considerably tall to make sure the house will not have any adverse effects if the city floods.
Engineering Design & Site Development
West Highway 84
Fairfield, TX
Production planning and coordination with local codes. Construction of 16 pump gasoline station and convenience store. Project in coordination with Texas Department of Transportation and Reviews with the City of Forth Worth engineering departments.
Project is under construction and the drone flight on the home page shows the Canopy construction progress and the convenience store steel framing.
ECIS, Inc has helped our client with welding inspections and support during construction for the exciting commercial project.
Chevron Gas Station in Forest Hill (I-20 TxDOT expansion)
The Open Detention Pond at the time utilized a Grinder pump to discharge flows with the help of a check valve to the curb on Anglin Drive. ECIS, Inc is currently working with TxDOT to get a connection to the closest Inlet they installed to discharge flows in a controlled manner. This update would get rid of the pump installation and would make the maintenance of the detention pond more affordable as the outfall pipe drains through gravity.
7294 Hwy. 224 Greenville 75401 (Gas Station Schematic Design)
ECIS, Inc prepared schematics on the existing site plan and proposed site plan to add a gas station to the existing convenience store in Greenville Texas.
ECIS, Inc also produced 3D renders to better visualize the proposed site plan and the new pumps and canopy
