Drainage and paving work across Harvey
Harvey carries some of the largest drainage projects on the West Bank, and a canal or box culvert job here occupies a boulevard median for months. A Harvey drainage crew wants the unit at the staging end near the pipe laydown, not out at the working face where the excavator swings. We service a Harvey job like that on a fixed day and move the unit only once the crew says the staging has shifted.
Paving work across Harvey moves faster than that. A Harvey mill and overlay train covers ground quickly, so the unit sits at the contractor lot and the Harvey crew drives back to it.
Peters Road, the canal yards and Harvey access
The Harvey Canal corridor along Peters Road is fabrication yards, barge fleeting and truck traffic, and every gate has its own rule about where a driver may stop. A Harvey yard unit goes on slab inside the fence, clear of the crane and the forklift lane. Nothing sits near the bulkhead. A Harvey unit within a few feet of the canal wall is one bump away from a real problem, so we set it well back.
Pumps, fill and the Harvey summer
Harvey drains entirely by pump, and the fill under the older Harvey commercial lots has settled into long shallow dips that hold water for hours. We set on the high side of the pavement and plank any Harvey unit that has to stand on ground. Subsidence shows in the concrete too, and a Harvey apron that has dropped an inch at the joint will tilt a unit noticeably.
Summer doubles the work. Heat and humidity in Harvey push us to twice weekly service on any job with a real crew, and the Harvey handwashing stand gets topped up each visit.
