Disaster-recovery drainage for a rural Gulf Coast community
The Wild Peach Drainage Improvements project was initiated by Brazoria County to address chronic flooding and drainage deficiencies within the rural community of Wild Peach Village, located approximately 50 miles outside of Houston. The area, established as a residential community in the mid-20th century, has experienced recurring drainage challenges due to aging infrastructure and increased rainfall intensity over time.
Funded in part through the Texas General Land Office (GLO) Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) program, the project was developed to improve stormwater conveyance and enhance community resiliency following major storm events impacting the region.
Full-scope field oversight for disaster-recovery infrastructure
ATL's scope of work focused on drainage system upgrades along County Road 347 and County Road 244, including bridge replacements, outfall and culvert replacements, ditch regrading, and associated roadway and drainage improvements. These improvements support long-term resilience in Wild Peach Village and contribute to Brazoria County's broader efforts to protect infrastructure and communities from future storm events.
ATL provided geotechnical engineering, CMT, and Construction Engineering & Inspection (CEI) services — a full scope of field oversight for disaster recovery infrastructure. ATL brings both the geotechnical expertise and the field inspection continuity required by GLO-funded disaster recovery and rural flood mitigation programs.
