Houston, TX · Telecommunications · Client: The NFL and Cellular Carriers
Modified and expanded existing cell sites and constructed temporary mobile sites across Houston to accommodate the cellular traffic increase for Superbowl LI. This required close coordination with cellular carriers, the NFL, local utility companies, and municipal permitting offices.
Houston, TX · Telecommunications
Supported the expansion of Houston's 5G network from its inception in late 2018. Scope of work includes site feasibility studies, site design, architectural and engineering services, permitting, utility coordination, utility locating, and surveying of small cell sites in the public right-of-way.
Texas · Water Resources · 2015
Developed 3D topographic models and designs for lakes across Texas. The environmental impact and design models allowed construction crews to perform automated excavation using semi-autonomous heavy machinery without dedicated operators.
Houston, TX · Commercial
Engineered the safe removal and installation of building facades downtown in Houston. The project required addressing safety challenges to protect pedestrian traffic during and after construction without compromising structural integrity.
