H.R. Gray awarded value engineering contract for Waller Creek Tunnel

The Austin, Texas City Council approved an agreement with H.R. Gray to provide value engineering services for the Waller Creek Tunnel project. A team led by H.R. Gray will conduct a value engineering review of the Waller Creek Tunnel project's design and construction plans.

The Waller Creek Tunnel project is a proposed 22-feet storm water bypass tunnel beginning in Waterloo Park and discharging at Lady Bird Lake near Waller Beach and the Four Seasons Hotel. The project is expected to reduce the size of the 100-year floodplain of the lower Waller Creek Watershed by roughly 28 acres and allow denser development in the Waller Creek District area of downtown.

The tunnel project will consist of several construction projects with some small projects starting construction in 2009, and is expected to be substantially complete in 2014.
