Myrtle Grove Project Update - Flood Prevention

Can flooding in Louisiana be prevented long-term? Most solutions aim to prevent the loss of life and property damage from flooding water and storms, not stop the storms or flooding. The goal is to better contain or redirect the floodwaters in the future. Greenup Industries is involved in several projects with US Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District to fortify levees in Louisiana.

Myrtle Grove Project - In spite of the weather, we have continued to press ahead on this critical risk reduction project for the people of Plaquemines Parish.

Old Mother Nature has been trying her best to slow this critical Hurricane Risk Reduction project, with rain and snow, but we keep pushing forward. Clearing vegetation and excavation of the drainage canal are nearly complete. Levee construction has progressed nicely with a total of over 1.3 million cubic yards (CY) of clay material placed and compacted, supported by almost 100,000 square yards (SY) of reinforcement geotextile.

We have also made good progress in the pile driving portion of this project, having driven 1,000 Linear Feet (LF) of steel pipe piles and 34,000 Square Feet (SF) of sheet piles. This project continues to stay ahead of the current required completion date of late summer 2026.

Louisiana-based Greenup Industries is behind countless projects across the Gulf South that point to the region’s growth and vibrancy. Greenup is adept at handling large-scale projects for the public good. From refurbished roads and bridges to industrial construction and maintenance, we offer contracting and specialized construction services for industrial, commercial, and municipal clients.

The Lafourche Basin Levee District in Vacherie, LA

Greenup Industries is delighted to have the North Lafourche Levee District in Vacherie, Louisiana, as a client.

Did you know? The North Lafourche Levee District was formed by an Act of the Louisiana Legislature in 1992. This state board has been responsible for improving flood protection on the west side of Bayou Lafourche from the Intracoastal Waterway in Larose to the northern edge of the Parish.

In 2006, through a statewide re-organization of levee boards, the North Lafourche Levee District was given additional jurisdiction over the east side of Bayou Lafourche, again from the Intracoastal Waterway in Larose to the northern end of Lafourche Parish. This area of the Parish was previously under the jurisdiction of the Lafourche Basin Levee District. The North Lafourche Levee District is now all of Lafourche Parish north of the Intracoastal Canal.

The North Lafourche Levee District works to improve drainage and enhance flood protection for 65,000 residents north of the Intracoastal Waterway in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana. The District includes over 250 miles of levees and drainage canals and over 40 pump stations.

The map above is divided into the Levee District's eight defined Project Areas.

COMMUNICATION VITAL IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Communication is vital in the construction industry because it can help ensure a project's success: 

• Safety: Poor communication can lead to injuries and accidents. To prevent accidents, hand signals are used to communicate with crane operators. 

• Project outcomes: Effective communication helps ensure project objectives are met, and it can improve collaboration and productivity. 

• Teamwork: Communication can help improve teamwork and morale. 

• Cost control: Miscommunication can lead to mistakes, rework, and additional costs. 

• Reputation: A history of delays, disputes, and accidents can damage a company's reputation. 

• Project status: Communication helps everyone understand the project's status. 

• Decision-making: Communication facilitates timely decision-making. 

• Client expectations: Communication helps manage client expectations. 

For over 30 years, Greenup Industries has excelled at providing professional, specialized services and procurement support to a diverse clientele, including the oil and gas, construction, telecommunication, and other industries, as well as city, parish, state, and federal governments.

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

MYRTLE GROOVE LEVEE construction PROJECT update

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is continuing to make progress with the New Orleans to Venice (NOV) Hurricane Protection project in Plaquemines Parish, La. The purpose of the NOV project is to provide an improved levee system for storm risk reduction for Plaquemines Parish by repairing and restoring the original project levees, accelerating the completion of unconstructed portions of the authorized project, and armoring critical elements of the authorized project. The NOV federal levees are located on the east bank of Plaquemines from Phoenix to Bohemia and on the west bank from St. Jude to Venice.

Currently, along the La Reussite to Myrtle Grove levee reach, USACE is constructing approximately seven miles of new drainage canals and levees. USACE workers and their construction partners are placing embankment material at the site of the levee construction, slowly building up layers of soil and material for the levee. So far, 85% of the canal have been completed and approximately 50% of the levee has been built along this particular levee reach. This portion of the project is scheduled to be completed by calendar year 2026.
