This project was part of the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Risk Reduction Project, known locally as the SELA program.

scope of work

This program was started in 1996 and has initiated many large-scale construction projects in the Greater New Orleans area designed to reduce flooding from rainfall by improving drainage in the area. The Gardere Canal project is another key element in the SELA system.

The Gardere Canal project spanned 12,200 linear and included the excavation of 110,000 cubic yards of canal bottom, installation of 24,400 wall feet of vinyl sheet piling, installation of 70,000 tons of rip rap, construction of 24,400 linear feet of concrete slope paving, numerous sewer, water and drainage modifications, and the replacement of a concrete pile supported bridge. This project included numerous logistical challenges associated with constructing a large-scale drainage project in an urban area, including constructing a significant portion of the project from a barge.
