Gradient Group, LLC was selected by Harris County to perform professional engineering and other associated services for the preparation of plans, specifications, and construction documents for the construction of 7 miles of new pedestrian facility (sidewalks, hike & bike trial, bus stop, etc.) design. We saved the County time and money, generally spent on surveying, by developing construction documents from Google Earth and existing GIS data. Gradient designed a metal plate, and multiple METRO bus stops to address pipeline and concrete crossing issues. Gradient Group, LLC recently received the Houston Business Journal Innovation Firm award for developing a Rapid Sidewalk Delivery design process that allowed for the civil engineering design of pedestrian facilities for Harris County without incurring the high cost of topographic surveying saving taxpayers over $500,000
