Problem
The OST/Almeda Corridors Redevelopment Authority TIRZ#7 project focused on revitalizing key thoroughfares in Houston, particularly along MLK Blvd. The existing concrete medians and curbs along this corridor were outdated and deteriorating, necessitating a comprehensive overhaul. The project aimed to improve both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of these medians, contributing to the overall beautification of the area and making it more welcoming and visually appealing for the community.
Analysis

- Installation of New Curb and Gutter Systems: TSG was tasked with installing new, durable curb and gutter systems designed to improve the functionality of the thoroughfares.
- Integration of Decorative Landscape Bands: To enhance the visual appeal of the area, decorative landscape bands were incorporated into the new curb and gutter systems, requiring precise coordination and execution.
Given the complexity of the project, which involved coordinating with other contractors and adhering to strict timelines, TSG's role was critical in ensuring that the concrete aspects were completed on time and within budget.
