Vogt Engineering Partners with Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County, TX

October 12, 2021

Building Vibrant Communities

Vogt Engineering has had the honor to partner with Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County to build a neighborhood to further its mission to empower communities and provide everyone with affordable housing. The property consists of 129 single-family lots on a 37 acres.

 

The first phase of the project started in 2008 with 21 homes. Because the property is in the 100-year floodplain, it was undevelopable without floodplain mitigation. Through careful analysis, a plan was designed to lift the property out of the floodplain and create safe, usable acreage for home building. Our team helped develop a strategy to stay within a budget to address the flooding issue and mitigate our environmental impact.

 

Our work also extended to providing engineering design for public roads, drainage systems, and more to guarantee residents availability of clean water and transit options. We also provided assistance to Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery for building permits.

 

Today, the area consists of 129 residential lots with robust infrastructure to minimize flooding. Final stages of development are underway as funding becomes available.

Vogt Engineering Celebrates National Bike Month

By Tiffany Marascio • May 17, 2024
May is National Bike Month, but Vogt Engineering celebrates and encourages biking all year. Our team enjoys using our office bikes to get out and experience nature, taking advantage of our central location in The Woodlands Town Center. About National Bike Month National Bike Month, after many previous iterations, was officially established in 1956. Today, National Bike Month is sponsored by the League of American Bicyclists , which incorporates accessible ways to start biking by hosting smaller experiences such as National Bike to Work Week (usually held the third week of May), and Bike to Work Day (usually that Friday). Health Benefits According to the Harvard School of Public Health , biking can help “improve mental health by lowering stress levels and stimulating feel-good endorphins.” Other health benefits include: improved cardiovascular fitness stronger muscles greater coordination and general mobility reduced body fat Vogt's Commitment to our Team and the Environment One of Vogt Engineering’s major considerations when looking for an office was easily accessible trails for riding bikes and walking. We are fortunate to have found a great place to be with our great team of people. Not only is biking and being outdoors good for mental and physical health, but we value working with the environment in everything we do. Although many civil engineering projects require earth movement, Vogt is committed to finding solutions that complement the natural surroundings of the site. Get Involved There are many local entities that organize Bike Month events, including The Woodlands, Harris County Precinct 3 (at Burroughs Park), and more.

The industrial truck manufacturing sector has been an important and active part of the American economy for 100 years. Texas is a state where industrial truck firms have generated one of the highest economic impacts, nearly $2.7 Billion. We can continue to be safe and free from injury by following these tips and by encouraging workers to stay abreast of forklift operator training.
