White Oaks Bayou Channel Restoration

Over an extended period, Huitt-Zollars performed annual condition assessment inspections for federally constructed portions of White Oak Bayou and 3,000 miles of Harris County channels.

Huitt-Zollars also prepared a construction documents package, assisted HCFCD with project bids, and provided technical oversight during construction.

Emergency Repairs to Gulf Coast Jetties
