SWCA teamed with Pape-Dawson Engineers and the San Antonio Water System (SAWS) to provide a full range of archaeological services as well as coordination between state and federal agencies for a project involving two large water pipelines that extend throughout the city of San Antonio.

 

 

This project is an example of SWCA’s ability to manage multi-level projects involving various agencies, subcontractors, permits and the general public. SWCA provided the Texas State Historic Preservation Office with weekly updates, helping our client obtain timely clearances so their work could proceed. Throughout this project, SWCA staff kept client needs at the forefront of their work. We not only helped the client minimize impacts to cultural resources, we also saved them time and money by keeping most of our work at the survey level. This project provided significant new data that can increase archaeological understanding of San Antonio prehistory.
