PROJECT SPOTLIGHT: PERMANENT CANAL CLOSURES AND PUMPS BY KIEWIT & STANTEC
The three main outfall canals in New Orleans, located at Lake Pontchartrain, are critical elements of the area’s flood control system, serving as drainage conduits for much of the city. Running south to north near the Orleans Parish lakefront, the 17th St., Orleans Ave., and London Ave. canals include floodwalls and levees. To block storm surges at these flood-prone canals, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers elected to replace interim closure structures (ICS) built in 2006 with new separate, permanent closure structures and pump stations (designed to operate concurrently or in series with existing drainage pumping stations). The project is part of the $14.5 billion Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System (HSDRRS) for southeast Louisiana that also includes 350 miles of levees and floodwalls, 73 pumping stations, and four gated outlets.
USACE awarded the work to PCCP Constructors, a joint venture, the best-value team led by Kiewit as majority partner with Stantec as lead designer.
How Progressive Design-Build (PDB) Offered New Solutions To A Global Manufacturer And Saved Millions
When a global manufacturer of carbon fiber products announced plans to invest $1 billion in building a manufacturing plant on a 400-acre greenfield site in Moore, South Carolina, it quickly became apparent that PDB was the best model to achieve the “must haves” for project delivery.
