Huitt-Zollars provided preliminary site development studies, water quality management plan, grading plans, drainage studies, sewer and water plans along with underground fire service plans. The project called for on-site and off-site improvement plans in the construction of an 11,000-seat entertainment complex. The facility can be reconfigured for a variety of events via flexible seating capacity, providing a unique and powerful venue for regional events. The project was successfully executed on a tight schedule.
Huitt-Zollars continues to provide civil engineering services for the renovation and redevelopment of Winrock Center. A comprehensive design solution, transportation/traffic analysis and design; utility upgrades including water mains and service, wastewater collection mains and stormwater; drainage studies; environmental assessment; and architectural compatibility have been provided. Public and neighborhood meetings were conducted throughout the design process; public concerns were addressed and accepted by all stakeholders. The regional center reflects a “main street” concept.
Huitt-Zollars assisted Shea Properties in preliminary and final construction documents for the 600,000-SF lifestyle center, located on 64-acres. The open air lifestyle center is anchored by major retailers, and features 17 buildings with seven out parcels. This project was a continuation of the Riverpark project.

Huitt-Zollars prepared on-site civil construction plans and horizontal control plans for this 50-acre retail commercial outlet center. Plans were prepared for precise grading, storm drainage, signage and striping, retaining walls, guard rail barriers, erosion and sediment control. Additional plans were prepared for domestic water and sanitary sewer systems. Project design included 21,000 LF of storm drains; 8,800 LF of domestic water pipes; and 6,700 LF of sewer pipes. Project challenges included (and were not limited to) designing an off-site sewer main down a 70-foot-high 2:1 slope.
Huitt-Zollars provided due diligence, engineering, and surveying services for the annexation, preliminary plat, and zoning for the entitlement of 133 acres of mixed-use commercial property within the City of Granbury. Entitlement exhibits, preliminary engineering, and final engineering were prepared for the development of 21 acres. Design included grading, paving site plans, drainage, sewer, and water to serve the site, as well as three Texas Department of Transportation driveways and associated deceleration lanes along Highway 377.
Huitt-Zollars provided preliminary and final engineering services, preparation of conceptual grading, drainage and utility plan, preliminary water quality management plan, preliminary drainage study, and construction administration for the 57,000 square-foot commercial/retail development and parking lot. Final construction drawings included precise grading, storm drain, sewer, water, firewater, and associated support calculations. Site design included a 10,000 cubic-foot underground infiltration chamber system that reduces stormwater outflow and removes potential pollutants from stormwater
The $175 million state-of-the-art multi-purpose sports and entertainment facility's design accommodates NBA, WNBA, NHL, the Olympics, and other sporting events.
