Greenup is working on the Hurricane Protection Project in Plaquemines Parish, LA, to keep people safe. We are pleased to provide you with this Myrtle Grove update:
In spite of the weather, we have continued to press ahead on this critical risk-reduction project for the people of Plaquemines Parish. So far, we have placed over 1.1 million Cubic Yards (CY) for levee construction, supporting geotextile fabric for levee stability, ninety-five percent of the
levee footprint has been cleared and is ready for continued construction, over 16,000 square feet of steel sheet piles have been driven for the utility crossings and drainage structure, over 15 structural pipe piles have been driven to support those structures, 5000 linear feet (LF) of
culverts for site drainage, nearly 300,000 CY has been excavated for the new drainage canal. In addition, two thousand tons of stone have been placed in that canal to retard erosion. This project is still scheduled
to finish on time in August 2026.
Greenup is partnering with Cajun JV, LLC, and presented the lowest bid for the New Orleans to Venice [first] lift levee and drainage canal relocation project, La Reussite to Myrtle Grove, Plaquemines Parish. The project consists of clearing, grubbing, excavating new drainage canals, placing culverts and drainage structures, building new T-walls and levee ramp crossings, placing levee embankments, geotextile work, turf establishment, and surfacing. “We are thrilled to be working with Cajun Industries on this project and look forward to doing all we can to provide storm and hurricane protection to Louisiana,” Rodney Greenup says.
