Fish Bayou Control Structures

Pontchartrain Levee District needed assistance with flood risk reduction, specifically minimizing flood duration within the Bluff Swamp. McKim & Creed’s team helped accomplish this by restoring the conveyance of Fish Bayou into Bayou Manchac with the construction of two 12x12-foot reinforced concrete box (RCB) gated control structures controlled by SCADA.
