    Project Details

    Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) in collaboration with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and CivilTech, aimed to reduce flood risks and enhance environmental resilience along the 31-mile stretch of Brays Bayou. Through innovative engineering solutions, geospatial technologies, and community engagement, the project fortifies infrastructure while preserving ecological integrity. It encompasses structurally intensive channel improvements and ADA-compliant pedestrian access routes, striking a balance between flood control and recreational enhancement.

    This project is a comprehensive effort to safeguard communities and ecosystems, fostering sustainable growth in Harris County, Texas. The Harris County Flood Control District used GIS, GPS, and LiDAR to create a 3D model of the Brays Bayou federal flood control structures. The model was used to assess the condition of the structures and plan for future maintenance and repairs.
