Asphalt-to-Concrete Modernization, 100-Year Drainage Resiliency, and ADA Compliance Optimization
This critical infrastructure project involved the comprehensive replacement of an existing, worn asphalt roadway section with a high-durability reinforced concrete section. The scope of work also featured comprehensive utility replacements and hydraulic improvements engineered to a rigorous 100-year drainage design standard.
During the construction phase, the field contractor encountered substantial challenges achieving the strict grade tolerances required for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) sidewalk compliance, particularly at complex street intersections with pre-existing elevation variances.
BHC collaborated directly with both the City of Waxahachie and the construction contractor to pivot and engineer an elegant field design solution. This rapid-response technical adjustment successfully achieved the legally mandated ADA slopes while carefully minimizing the physical limits of disruption to adjacent, pre-existing connecting sidewalks.
