LPV-9.2 is located in greater New Orleans, Louisiana, between the cities of Metairie and Kenner. The
company’s work on this project consists of constructing a continuous line of hurricane flood protection
across the discharge basins at Pumping Stations No. 1 thru 4, as well as, modifications to the 2 existing
breakwaters at Pumping Stations No. 2 and 3. This protection will incorporate pile founded reinforced
concrete T-walls, L-walls, swing gate and gatebay type monoliths. Site work will include reconstruction of
an access road bridge, modifications to existing pumping station utilities, dewatering systems, construction
of temporary retaining structures with work platforms, miscellaneous excavation, clearing and grubbing.
Miscellaneous mechanical and electrical work will also be performed. The pump stations are of varying
sizes, capacities and arrangements, but are similar in function and design.
The LVP 3.2 West Return Floodwall Project is located in the city of Kenner, which is part of greater New
Orleans, Louisiana. It consists of the construction of a new 3-mile long concrete T-wall on the floodside
of the existing floodwall, which will be demolished. Travelling north to south along the Jefferson Parish
line, the new T-wall will reduce the risk of flooding in from a storm surge in Lake Pontchartrain and
LaBranche wetlands. The work consists of clearing and grubbing, driving H-Piles and sheet piles,
excavation, embankment, demolition of existing floodwall, construction of new floodwall, modification of
existing pump station discharge pipes, asphaltic pavement, turf establishment and maintenance and any
incidental works.
