Following a recent grand opening that drew over 800 customers to wait in line at dawn, the city of Fort Worth has welcomed its first H-E-B store. The property falls within the Alliance Town Center district, which has a comprehensive set of design guidelines and requirements regarding architecture, engineering, and landscape architecture. BHB provided civil & structural engineering, land surveying, and landscape architecture services.
Civil Engineering included site and parking lot design, detailed grading plans, drainage analysis, public and private storm drain improvements, and public and private utility extensions to serve the site. We also performed a flood study and significant culvert extension and assisted in permitting through the city of Fort Worth’s CFA/IPRC process.
The Land Survey team provided ALTA/NSPS Surveys for Lot 3, Block 1, and Lot 3X, Block 1, a topographic survey of Lot 3, Block 1, and a Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission Survey (TABC Survey). They also wrote multiple on-site and off-site easements and provided a replat of Lot 3X, Block 1.
Landscape planting plans included combinations of large sweeping areas of ornamental grasses, perennials, large shade trees, small ornamental trees, screening shrubs and trees, and grass. The landscape was also designed to frame and accentuate the front of the store, allowing views from the surrounding streets. The entire landscape’s success was primarily due to the close collaboration between BHB civil engineering, BHB landscape, the project architect, and the Alliance Town Center Development Review Board.
The BHB structural team provided infrastructure support for our civil team in dealing with a challenging site. The structural team designed and coordinated a custom cast-in-place concrete junction box for a stormwater management system. The site required some retaining walls for the grades to work with the existing conditions adjacent. The structural team helped select and specify the required retaining wall system from a cost, functional, and aesthetically pleasing perspective.

Principal | Civil Engineer
An explorer at heart, Joe once had dreams of following in the footsteps of Lewis & Clark. He loves to travel to any new place, exploring and discovering the many experiences that the world has to offer. His calling here at home, though, is the creative design process of civil engineering. He was drawn to this line of work for the opportunity to work with clients and take their vision for a project to design on paper, through construction, and into the built world. As a principal at BHB, he enjoys the ability to work on a wide variety of projects while also being involved in the Texas Society of Professional Engineers and the MATHCOUNTS program. Joe is also a graduate of the Professional Engineer Leadership Institute.
Outside of work, he enjoys traveling with his wife Meridith, and is a scoutmaster for a local Boy Scout Troop.
