Size
- 1.2 miles
BHB provided the rehabilitation design of water and sanitary sewer utilities along approximately 1.2 miles of North Main Street and East Weatherford Street. Water and sanitary sewer utilities in this were undersized and aging. Water line design spanning two pressure planes replaced the existing two-inch lines on both sides of N. Main and an existing line in E. Weatherford with 2,900 feet of 12-inch and 4,600 feet of 8-inch water line. Sanitary sewer design replaced undersized lines along N. Main with 5,400 feet of 12-inch and 850 feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer.
For the design of this utility rehabilitation, BHB engineers had to avoid conflicts with existing utilities such as fiber optic communications, gas, electric, and existing storm drain ranging from 24-inch to 48-inch. Project design included pavement repair design and layout of proposed utilities to minimize pavement replacement. Project staging was also considered in order to maintain utility services to residents and businesses except for temporary shutdowns. BHB’s land surveying team prepared topographic and right-of-way surveys for approximately one mile of N. Main Street from Front Street to Eighth Street for water and wastewater line replacement.

Scott Crawford, PE
Associate | Senior Civil Engineer
Although Scott Crawford grew up with dreams of becoming a veterinarian, his aptitude for math became apparent at a young age, sealing his destiny to become an engineer like his father. A civil engineer and project manager at BHB since January of 2017, Scott brings 15 previous years of experience in North Central Texas to the company. His specialties include water and wastewater design, utility coordination and permitting, roadway design, private multifamily development, construction administration, and municipal impact fee calculation.
Outside of work, Scott enjoys cooking and building things. He also enjoys spending time with his wife, two kids, and dogs – preferably at the beach. As a graduate of Texas A&M he loves to visit College Station, and occasionally moonlights as Batman (but you didn’t hear that from us). When asked for words to live by, he quotes Eleanor Roosevelt: “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”
