Fox Grove Subdivision

Stage Run Subdivision Sustainable Design

Bridgepoint/Triana Subdivision

Fox Grove Subdivision

VICKREY provided civil design and surveying services for this 477-acre, 1,149-lot subdivision located in north Bexar County over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone, which included over 42,500 linear feet of arterial, collector and local roadways and a bridge-class culvert crossing of Elm Waterhole Creek consisting of sixteen 10’x10’ concrete boxes. The project also included over 47,100 feet of new 8-, 12-, and 16-inch water main, 40,200 feet of sanitary sewer main, and a new lift station. Rather than providing numerous small detention basins, the increase in stormwater runoff from the development was mitigated by excavating within the storage area of the downstream SCS Dam No. 12, thereby increasing its storage volume. The firm provided master planning, design, subdivision platting, construction administration and staking, as well as permitting & coordination with TCEQ and FEMA.

Stage Run Subdivision Sustainable Design

Prev Next

VICKREY provided civil engineering design services for the Stage Run Subdivision, a small-lot single family subdivision located near Boerne Stage Road and IH-10. The utility improvements for the subdivision included the design of approximately 10,000 lf of 8-inch sanitary sewer main, 12,000 lf of 8-inch water main and 7400 lf of 12-inch water main. The overall layout of the subdivision was designed to accommodate and preserve the natural resources of the area. VICKREY laid out the entry road with medians designed to enhance the experience of visitors as they approach neighborhood recreational areas and placed the playground, swimming pool and basketball court at the heart of the development. The firm designed the drainage systems to weave amongst the trees to preserve the pureness of the land and established interceptor berms to capture offsite drainage flows with minimal disturbance to the trees and soil. We also analyzed drainage patterns to determine the optimum location for the water quality basins to provide water quality enhancement for the 109.95-acre development. The drainage systems throughout the project were linked to the water quality ponds to provide 100% capture. The water quality design incorporated the use of a sedimentation and filtration basin. The filtration basin used a sand filtration method with a pipe under drain system.

Bridgepoint/Triana Subdivision

VICKREY provided civil design and surveying services for this 200-acre, 430-lot subdivision, located in northwest Bexar County over the Edwards Aquifer Contributing Zone. The project included 11,500 linear feet of private collector and local streets, 11,750 feet of sanitary sewer and 12,900 feet of water mains in SAWS service area, and a new sanitary sewer lift station. Site runoff captured in the storm sewer network was collected in three sand filtration basins, and then routed through stormwater detention basins which reduced flows to pre-development rates. The firm provided design, construction administration and staking of all public and private infrastructure and lot grading for the residential project, subdivision platting of all eight subdivision units, and also provided design of public utilities, storm water quality treatment and detention for the 12-acre Los Reyes Elementary School site. VICKREY performed TCEQ, TxDOT, Bexar County and City of San Antonio permitting, and site design and construction staking of the community amenity center which included a pool, pavilion, playground, and parking area.
