AISD Overton Elementary School Colony Loop Extension

We were responsible for the design of a new elementary school (2 story with total 102,241 SF building, 105 parking spaces) and a new recreation center (1 story with total 18,644 SF building, 50 parking spaces) and associated improvements. The project also included extending the existing Colony Loop Drive and utilities by approximately 1,800 LF. The elementary school, recreation center and the roadway project was permitted as one Site Development Permit.

Stormwater management facilities for the road extension were combined with drainage from the site improvements and handled for water quality and detention purposes. The Elementary School achieved the United States Green Building Council Balcones Chapter 2009 Green School Award as well as the Austin Energy Green Building Program 3 Star Rating.

We prepared the necessary construction plans (site development plan and the roadway extension plan) for the grading, drainage, water quality basins, detention ponds, water and wastewater improvements for the elementary school, recreation center, and roadway extension. Engineering services included coordinating with the City of Austin Watershed Protection and Development Review Department (WPDRD) for the acquisition of a Site Development Permit as well as assisting the architects in bidding and performing construction administration of the project.

Expansion Project for Andrews Elementary

Austin, TX

This project involved library expansions and administrative office improvements on 8.18 acre site. Doucet was responsible for all civil engineering services to support the design, permitting, and construction phase of the project as it pertained to exterior improvements. Exterior improvements initially just included accessible pathways to building entrances/exits. Due to the Memorial Day 2015 storm event, the gymnasium was flooded. Doucet was tasked to provide design, permitting, and construction phase services for drainage mitigation to the courtyard/gymnasium areas of the campus. Additional drainage issues between building wings C and D, as well as areas to the south of the new library under construction, were identified due to that storm event and subsequent major storm. In addition, the wastewater line serving the school was inspected via camera and was found to be collapsing in several areas. Because the original wastewater line was the Orangeburg pipe installed in the 1950s, Doucet designed a new wastewater line to replace it.

Guerrero Thompson Elementary School

Austin, TX

The Austin Independent School District (AISD) was in need of opening a new elementary school to serve the north central region of Austin to relieve the overcrowding at McBee and Walnut Creek campuses. This site is located at 102 E. Rundberg Lane and sits on approximately 18 acres. After a prolonged site acquisition process, AISD scheduled a 40-classroom school opening by August 2013. Due in part to our efforts on this project, the two-story 98,000 SF school opened on time. Doucet was responsible for all civil engineering and development permitting for the site. Doucet designed the signalized intersection at Rundberg Lane, analyzed and reclaimed portions of the site out of the floodplain to make room for the school improvements, and designed the drives, parking, stormwater management and utilities for the site.

Hays Consolidated ISD Bus Parking

Kyle, TX

Additional parking was required for Hays County ISD bus purchases The overall site had a gently sloping terrain with a drainage area crossing in the middle of the proposed bus parking facility, thereby limiting any usable access to about four acres of the property without the installation of drainage structures. Topographic survey information was needed and required by the City in order to prepare hydraulic modeling of the drainage channel crossing and to obtain a permit for the construction in and adjacent to the drainage area and upstream from ongoing single-family property development. Doucet prepared one set of construction documents for permitting and construction. Doucet also submitted and processed the plans and applications to the City of Kyle and aided the Client in obtaining approval from City of Kyle for their planned improvements.

Jaime D. Padron Elementary School

Austin, TX

Doucet was responsible for a complete renovation and addition to existing industrial buildings in order to create a two-story elementary school in a highly developed area. This 115,967 SF school includes 112 parking spaces. Due to the large amount of apartments in the area, it was anticipated that 75% of the student population would walk or bike to school. To facilitate pedestrian and motor vehicle traffic, a High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK) was designed into the project to cross West Rundberg Lane, an arterial road adjacent to the site. We completed all civil engineering and development permitting for the site to include designing a left turn lane on the existing arterial road for access into the site and adjusted internal circulation and existing driveways to create one way traffic flow in and out of the site. We also utilized existing regional water quality and detention facilities to avoid additional on-site stormwater management requirements. In addition, the existing pavement condition was assessed to determine what pavement areas required rehabilitation or replacement.
