Mr. Elizondo began his engineering career at Pape Dawson Engineers in San Antonio, Texas. Notable projects included the feasibility study and engineering report for the $25 million former Alamo Cementville tract that transformed the 400-acre rock quarry site to a multi-use development consisting of The Quarry Market Shopping Center, various office and retail centers, multi and single family homes and park and recreational facilities. Mr. Elizondo was one of two design engineers assigned to plat and develop construction drawings and specifications for the Sea World of Texas Theme Park.
At Neptune-Wilkinson and Associates, Inc., Hugo developed from project engineer to project manager. Extensive public works and rural water design and administration yielded several unique projects. Mr. Elizondo was project manager of the Lake Buchanan and Hill Country Water Supply Corporation startup rural water supply companies funded by the Farmer’s Home Administration and the Texas Water Development Board, respectively. These two projects included approximately 85 miles of new water main, 600 new customers, and related easement acquisition. Treatment plant design included a 2.2 MGD iron removal facility for Southwest Milam Water Supply Corporation.
In 1995, Hugo joined C.C. Carlton Construction of Austin, Inc., which became C.C. Carlton Industries, LTD. in 1999. During his 5 year tenure at this multi-faceted construction company, annual billings increased from $1 to over $32 million of public works and private development construction. Construction projects ranged from the Travis County Regional Parks to the Lakeway M.U.D. wastewater treatment plant. Notable projects are the LCRA/Lakeway Regional Raw Water Intake which has a floating barge on Lake Travis housing four raw water pumps with 150 HP motors, 250 feet of 16 inch flexible rubber hose and steel manifold and a sophisticated state-of-the-art control system.
Other projects included construction of subsurface drainage systems for the Fazio 2 Golf Course at Barton Creek. This unique Course lies along the environmentally sensitive Barton Creek. Projects at this Course also included the construction of the main irrigation pump station at Pond 9, a booster pump station, and two water quality ponds which re-circulate storm and irrigation runoff. C.C. Carlton Industries, Ltd. also constructed the Southeast and Northeast Metropolitan Parks for Travis County. These two new regional parks included almost $12 million of sports fields and recreational facilities. Construction included all earthwork, access drives, parking areas, ball field layout, concession and picnic pavilions, restroom facilities, offsite and onsite water and wastewater improvements, irrigation ponds, pump station, sprinkler systems, electrical and field lighting, landscaping, tennis and basketball courts, equestrian center, hiking trails and various playscapes.
