Design elevations Hurricane Protection System

More info on this project
The Hurricane Storm and Damage Risk Reduction System (HSDRRS) around the city of New Orleans will be significantly revised in the coming years after the flood disasters during Hurricane Katrina and Rita in 2005.


Risk Assessment New Orleans

More info on this project
Flood risk assessment is a key element in the protection of low-lying areas. We carried out a quick assessment of the current flood risks for the New Orleans East area. The weak links in the hurricane protection system were established. Also, the benefits of advanced measures were evaluated and flood risk maps were created. An interim barrier in the GIWW/MRGO proved to be the best advanced measure from a hydraulic point of view.

Armoring

More info on this project
The inundation of the City of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina was a result of a number of failures of the levee and floodwall system.  Some of these failures were directly attributed to erosion of the inside face, caused by substantial overtopping and overflow of surge and waves generated by the storm.  The United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) recognized the significance of this overtopping and put in place a team to investigate and recommend methods of armoring; and to identify the most vulnerable locations.
