Low Impact Development Design Evaluation for Bellaire Blvd Improvements

Low Impact Development Design Evaluation for Bellaire Blvd Improvements

Project Description

Fort Bend County Engineering, Fort Bend County.

RGME, in association with Asakura Robinson, prepared preliminary engineering designs, landscape designs, and cost estimates for a 2,800 foot segment of Bellaire Blvd near Mason Road. Designs and cost estimates were developed for a traditional curb and gutter drainage system and a natural drainage (also called low impact development) design featuring false back inlets, a depressed center median, reverse sloped pavement, bioswales, and high performance bioretention systems.  A weighted factor evaluation was conducted which showed that the LID design was feasible and cost less to construct than the traditional design.
