Lost Creek Trash Racks

In Houston, Texas, there was a need to filter the effluent water for a large storm event. The design was for large screens on a slanted surface. First, we had to figure out how to make the trash racks by notching the bars so they could be assembled. Then we saw that there was too […]
Harbor Bridge Corpus Christi Tx

This is the most divine of projects to have participated in. The sheer size and extent of this engineering marvel are difficult to grasp. The mutual action and cooperation of so many men who created such a thing. It was an honor to be a part of it. If you run from one end of […]
Leon Hurse Dam Lake Ralph Hall Stop Logs and Stainless Trash Racks and Guides

We built the stainless steel guides that are embedded into the walls of the dam, the stainless steel trash racks and the steel stop logs. The challenge […]
Waller Creek Trail Guardrail

We did both the furnishing and the installation for this high-profile job. The paint system was particularly tricky and expensive. Thanks to our partners and Tim Gazzo at Michael Van […]
Mountain Tunnel Stairs

Visit our Concepts to Reality page for the Mountain Tunnel Bulkheads doors we engineered for this project. We also had to build a stair to access them. This tunnel carries water from the mountains of the California Bay Area down to feed the cities. They are dug out of the side of the rock by […]

Ballona Creek Water Quality Improvement in Sepulveda Los Angeles, CA

We helped our customer, Kiewit Pacific, by recognizing that the original design for the truck unloading canopy had very thick steel members, which the self-tapping screws would not penetrate. We met with Hendricks Screen in Carbondale, PA, to team […]
