Summary:

This project involved constructing a concrete flood protection wall to mitigate potential flooding. The project also included the installation of a structural steel hydraulic roller gate for optimal water control and accessibility. We further enhanced the site by removing and replacing sidewalks and pavement to improve safety and durability. The floodwall foundation was fortified with 1,800 linear feet of H-pile and 5,000 square feet of sheet pile, ensuring a robust structure capable of withstanding environmental forces.
