This Public Infrastructure Design Manual is intended to set a standard of design for public infrastructure in the City of Brenham and the City of Brenham’s extraterritorial jurisdiction that is consistent, cost-effective, efficient, maintainable, and protects public safety. These standards are a guide for design, but not a substitute for good engineering. It is the obligation of the designer to use these standards responsibly and professionally to produce designs conforming to commonly accepted engineering practices. It may at times be desirable or necessary to vary from the standards in this manual to produce a product in accordance with these goals. When the need arises, please refer to the section on exceptions.
Any reference by this manual to any law, regulation, rule, publication, or any other source shall refer to the most recently adopted, promulgated, or otherwise effective version applicable as such may be amended from time to time.
Standard Details
The City of Brenham provides the following Standard Details to guide developers and engineers through the process of design and construction of publicly owned and/or maintained infrastructure.
Individual Drawings are available in Adobe Acrobat, AutoCAD and MicroStation Formats. If a required detail is not included on this web page, the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) Standard Drawings shall apply.
