The Gulf Coast Water Authority offices will be closed on Monday, May 27, 2024, in honor of Memorial Day.

Samantha Stoughtenger Branson, Gulf Coast Water Authority (GCWA) Project Manager, and Naveen Chillara, Senior Project Manager in the Water Resources Design Group, from Freese and Nichols, Inc. (FNI) delivered a presentation at the Texas Water Conference last month! They shed light on the intricate challenges of constructing major water infrastructure in loose, permeable soils, particularly along the Brazos River. Their presentation wasn't just about problems – it was about solutions. From meticulously planning construction sequencing to tackling issues like bank stability, groundwater control, and potential scouring, they're pioneering innovative strategies that promise significant cost savings for the industry. By evaluating factors such as minimizing cofferdam limits, optimizing cofferdam service duration, incorporating structural anchoring features, and refining dewatering systems, they're setting a new standard for efficiency and sustainability in water infrastructure projects. This presentation marks just the beginning of an exciting journey. As the project evolves from design to construction, expect more insights, strategies, and success stories in the upcoming series on the Shannon Pumping Plant. Stay tuned for updates, and join us in shaping the future of water infrastructure! #TexasWaterConference #GCWA #FreeseAndNichols #WaterInfrastructure #Innovation
