SERVICES
Bowman Engineering & Consulting provides civil engineering services and consulting for primarily public agencies and local government authorities. We focus on transportation and public infrastructure projects with a specialization in construction project management, design, and delivery, from the feasibility and planning stages through start-up and completion.
One of the greatest challenges our clients face is dealing with unforeseeable design and construction problems that may pose a threat to the public’s well-being. With a proven track record working on a diverse array of large-scale projects, we deliver a distinct advantage – the ability to identify, monitor, and mitigate challenges observed on mega projects throughout the years. Our emphasis on planning and constant communication helps mitigate design- and construction-related risks and provide our clients with better peace of mind.

METRORapid University Corridor
The Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO) proposes to implement a 25.3-mile bus rapid transit (BRT) line across Houston, Texas. The University Corridor begins at the Westchase Park & Ride near the Westpark Tollway and Sam Houston Tollway, ending at Tidwell Transit Center near Tidwell Road and U.S. Highway 59.
The project features dedicated transit-only lanes and 41 proposed stations. The western third (Westchase to Edloe Street) will operate on a fixed guideway in METRO’s exclusive right-of-way, while the remainder uses dedicated BRT lanes with transit signal priority.
Additional features include level boarding, off-board fare collection, branded vehicles, and a new bus operating facility. The corridor is divided into five segments covering key residential, business, and education areas.
Project Contributions:
BEC served as Lead Engineer for Segment 5, approximately seven miles from Margarita Street to Tidwell Transit Center. Under AECOM’s direction, BEC provided alignment control and engineering design for all roadway features, advancing design to 30%, producing plan and profile sheets, ROW impact plans, cost estimates, and managing deliverables.
