"Sea Star Base Galveston, the third such base in the United States and the only base on the Gulf Coast, is a LEED Platinum project designed for hurricane winds, flooding and saltwater intrusion and will stand the test of time and elements over the next century. From the outset, the Project’s donors set out to build an urban sailing camp on a precious few acres (4) on Galveston Bay with an equal area of 4 acres of facilities in the water. The project sets a remarkable example of how to construct a resilient landscape and urban palette for educational uses within its own community and nationally. The landscape architects led the site work design team that included civil and structural engineers, architects, marine specialists, local ecologists, and three client user groups by shepherding conservative use of space for function and recreation, launching sail craft and providing superior outdoor education space within a landscape that will totally hold up long term."

1. 

Significant water planning efforts to eliminate the use of potable water for irrigation for this industry leading environmentally sensitive campus. Water capture, filtration, treatment, & flow through were extensively researched, vetted, & implemented in design

2.

Detailed engineering of project infrastructure to include over 100,000 gallons of on-site storage, capture, passive/active treatment, & re-use of both roof-top rainwater, & stormwater

3.

Design of site specific irrigation system serving a variety of native & adaptive planting types. User friendly technology provides real-time monitoring and management of irrigation water sources

Hines performed water-harvesting from operational sources & stormwater with new irrigation on this urban site for a new government agency headquarters. Utilizing a water-budget study on a mix of high-profile landscapes, native grasses, and temporary establishment areas, Hines was able to conclude that the water needed was nearly half the original estimation- resulting in a cost savings estimation to be approximately $1 million.

1.

Provided a water-budget study that concluded that instead of the initial 12” looped main initially proposed, Hines devised a network with 6” loop fed from a 10” supply with 12” intake line using a much smaller pump station. The site was also divided into seven watering zones with mainline point-of-connections for each zone.

2.

Worked with Civil Engineers to persuade them to incorporate pre-filtration components before rainwater enters the pond. Subgrade positioning of pump station, final-filter and control panel provided an ‘invisible’ aesthetic solution. A weather-based controller with remote access brought the water savings to 54% below baseline case scenario.

3.

Provided performance specs for design-build contractors to follow along with strict guidelines for products and installation techniques to ensure quality control.
