Doucet assisted in the development of a master plan within the Waller Creek corridor the Waller Creek District. The master plan’s project area was generally bound by: 12th Street on the north; Interstate Highway 35 on the east; Lady Bird Lake on the south; and Red River street and Trinity Street on the west. One goal of this project was to provide strategies and costs for the restoration of eroded and otherwise degraded sections of Waller Creek stream banks within the study area.
Doucet was responsible for budget estimates for all of the creek corridor improvements. Improvements included adding trails, stairs, ramps, terraces, overlooks, path lighting and the removal of obstructions and dams. Doucet also presented the Creek Corridor Comparable Projects Report and Budget Estimate to City of Austin staff and the Technical Advisory Group for their review and comment. Doucet also performed field reconnaissance visits to confirm existing conditions and to identify locations and to make measurements of stream channel improvements.
Identified as public land (approx 16 acres) within the West Bouldin Creek watershed, Doucet provided water quality, erosion control, and low storm intensity flood control to the creek and riparian corridor. The Best Management Practices (BMP) consisted of a channel runoff diversion structure, a sedimentation/extended detention pond, and a downstream level spreader with a ½-acre vegetative filter strip prior to discharging flow back into West Bouldin Creek
Working with the Parks and Recreation Department, Doucet provided engineering services for a previous landfill site bounded by Town Lake to the north, Mopac Expressway to the east, Stratford Drive to the south, and Eanes Creek to the west. Doucet performed the following: Hydrologic & Hydraulic Analysis for the contributing drainage area upstream of the project site Channel Improvements Design to convey runoff using 6” Conlock with vegetation infill and covered with biodegradable soil retention blankets Liner System Design using Geomembrane EPDM Rubber Liner for the new channel Bank Stabilization development using vegetated reinforced soils, vegetation planting, soil retention blanket, rock riprap, limestone blocks and AKWARDRAIN for Eanes Creek.
