텍사스 콘로 시가 McManus & Johnson(M&J) 컨설턴팅 엔지니어, Metrostudy와 함께 물 분배 시스템 및 물 운영 마스터플랜을 개발하는 데에 Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam(LAN)사를 선정했다.

몽고메리 카운티의 중심에서 휴스턴 북쪽으로 40여 분 거리에 위치한 콘로 시는 기록적인 성장을 이루고 있는 도시로, 미국에서 가장 빠르게 성장한 도시 중 하나이다. 현재 물 공급과 인프라는 현존하는 시스템에 대한 향상, 시기적절한 유지 및 보존 방법, 효율성 증가 없이는 미래 성장에 발맞추지 못할 것으로 보인다.

 

 

 

The City of Conroe, Texas, has selected Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, Inc. (LAN), a planning, engineering and program management firm, together with McManus & Johnson Consulting Engineers (M&J) and Metrostudy, to develop its water distribution system and water operations master plan.

 

Located 40 minutes north of Houston in the heart of Montgomery County, Conroe is experiencing historic

 

growth and is one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation. The current water supply and infrastructure are not expected to keep pace with the future growth without improvements to the existing system, timely

maintenance, conservation measures, and increased efficiency.

 

Accordingly, the master plan will help the city assess present and future water infrastructure needs, evaluate the effectiveness of the current system and focus on maintenance resources. The scope of work

 

includes the following:

·Reviewing existing master plans
·Forecasting growth projections and water usage over the next 30 years
·Modeling and analyzing Conroe's existing and future water system
·Evaluating impacts of surface water integration and blending with existing groundwater supplies
·Developing water operations guidelines
·Preparing a prioritized capital improvements plan (CIP) with probable construction costs

 

LAN will serve as the lead engineer and hydraulic modeler for the master plan, M&J will assist with CIP

preparation and Metrostudy will help develop the growth projections. The master planning study will be

completed in the summer of 2015.
