The Vogel Creek Conveyance Improvement Project
About the Project
The Vogel Creek Conveyance Improvement Project was completed in August 2008 by the Harris County Flood Control District in order to reduce the risk of flooding from Vogel Creek. The project began at White Oak Bayou and extended upstream about 8,300 feet to Arncliffe Drive. Overall the project required:
|
 |
Acquisition of right-of-way along Vogel Creek, including demolition of existing structures |
|
|
Relocation of various utilities and pipelines |
|
|
Removal of an existing pedestrian bridge |
|
|
Significant enlargement of Vogel Creek |
|
|
Replacement or modification of three roadway bridges with associated roadway modifications (two by the District and one by the City of Houston) |
Before construction began in 2006, Vogel Creek was an average of 70 feet wide and only capable of conveying a storm that had a 50% chance of occurring in any given year. Vogel Creek is now 150-165 feet wide and is expected to be capable of conveying a storm that only has a 1% chance of happening in any given year.
The project had a total budget of $27 million.
