Morgan City Levee Improvements
Public Works – Local
The Challenge
To Be Met
The City of Morgan City, along with support from Drainage District No. 2, St. Mary Parish Government, and St. Mary Levee District, propose to reconstruct and elevate this forced drainage system to provide protection from the 1% annual storm and ultimately provide FEMA-accredited levee protection system for the residents of Morgan City.
The Solution
Our Creative Approach
TBS provided a preliminary project report to identify the most cost-effective alignments and features for an accredited levee system surrounding Morgan City. The fi rst two phases of this project include approximately seven miles of levee reconstruction from the East Atchafalaya Basin Protection Levee to the Syracuseville Levee, which ties into the existing railroad tracks in Morgan City. TBS is currently designing the levee improvements necessary for FEMA accreditation.
