East Austin 7th Street Hotel
Civil engineering for a 5-story, 133-room hotel in East Austin — complex urban utility coordination and public wastewater improvements.
The Challenge
Existing utilities in this area of Austin created major design challenges due to the number of utilities, limited available corridor space, and shallow/conflicting infrastructure. Because of limited space and existing utility conflicts, the public utility improvements required separation and depth-of-cover variances.
