Construction improvement for McAllen main irrigation canal

Melden & Hunt, Inc. was hired by the City of McAllen to engineer the replacement of the Hidalgo County Irrigation District No. 1 Main Canal along Bentsen Road. The proposed improvements include putting the existing earth canal underground with 8,268 linear feet of 10’ X 7’ dual concrete boxes and related irrigation structures. Currently, the General Contractor is mobilizing and will start construction shortly. Therefore, Melden and Hunt, Inc. will commence the inspection phase of the project and will oversee all construction inspection and administration activities. Further, this project was initiated by the City of McAllen due to the widening of Bentsen Road from FM 495 to Nolana Road in order to improve traffic conditions.
