There are vast areas of Houston, Texas, that stretch hundreds of miles and play a critical role in the city’s infrastructure. Hidden in plain sight, the functionality and importance of these pathways are invisible to 99% of the people living in the area. Many citizens may see these roadside aqueducts as just a part of the natural landscape but fail to understand the critically important job these channels perform for the city and its residents.
In this case study, we’ll give you a peek behind the curtain of what it takes to care for these essential components of the city’s infrastructure. They protect homes from stormwater flooding, but we’d like to share with you just what it takes to maintain these miles and miles of waterways and the imposing physical challenges to our employees tasked with maintaining them.
