Overview

Levees are an important part ofinfrastructure. They are designed to keepthe public safe from flooding and water

damage. As such, they are subject to ever-changing legal, regulation, and design criteria.

These aging, crucial infrastructure componentsmust also to withstand new pressures from

climate changes and outlast maintenance budgetcuts. Our professionals’ involvement in projectssuch as the Katrina levees in New Orleans, the

California Central Valley levee system evaluationsand the Florida Stormwater Treatment Area leveeshave allowed our people here at MEC to understandthese risks better than most.

We at MEC have ensured that our company is proactive in our approach to levee planning, design and repairs. When you need swift, expert-level services, from design to construction to maintenance, we can help. We are experienced in federal, state, and local requirements. We understand the responsibilities that levee owners face. Our deep understanding allowsus to utilize a risk-based approach to levee decision making. Our professionals actively participate in organizations such as the California Science Team, forwarding safety and innovation in levee policy.

Our Levee Services

Levee DesignThere are a multitude of factors to be considered when designing a levee. These

factors will vary depending on foundation conditions, available borrow materials,

design water elevation, trafficability of the levee surface, urban/non-urban

setting, construction methodology, and many more. These variables will in turn

affect the selection of analysis parameters.

Our engineers have extensive experience in levee design. From planning and

subsurface evaluations, to strength characterization of foundation and

embankment materials, to cross section selection and embankment design. We

have performed hundreds of Finite Element seepage runs, slope stability

analyses, seismic vulnerability, liquefaction triggering and deformation analyses.

We have also evaluated alternatives and designed repairs, retrofits and

upgrades for existing levees that were not meeting current standards. Our

designs address 4 primary deficiencies: freeboard, erosion, seepage, and slope

stability. Our engineers have experience with seepage and stability berms, cut-off

walls, rock slope protection, pier walls, jet grouting, and geometry and freeboard

repairs.

Periodic InspectionsOur team members have inspected literally hundreds of miles of levees. Our

approach supports US Army Corps of Engineers’ mission to ensure flood

protection, stability, and serviceability. We have partnered and worked with

Federal, State and Local agencies, including Reclamation and Irrigation Districts.

We provide exhaustive and detail-oriented periodic inspections services. Our

systematic approach to levee inspections has allowed us to develop a deep

understanding and a comprehensive information database of:

Our levee inspections include:

Embankments

Erosion, seepage and stability issues

Drainage structures, ditches and canals

Flood walls, levee crest and freeboard

Vegetation effects

• Geomorphology

• Erosion

• Animal activity & burrows

• Soft soils

• Underseepage susceptibility

• Seismic vulnerability

• Liquefaction triggers

• Piping potential

• Historic levee performance

• Levee survey inventories

• Pipes, penetrations &

encroachments

We bring this extensive knowledge base to every one of our projects. We can

assists you with the entire inspection process, from project management and

administration to database building and post-processing.

Levees are crucial infrastructure components. As such, it is of outmost importance to

understand the existing conditions, in order to proactively prepare and eliminate the

possibility of a catastrophic failure in the event of a flood.

Our professionals have evaluated over 1,000 miles of levees on all types of geographic

and geologic settings. We apply a rigorous methodology to levee evaluations. Our

approach evaluates the existing conditions with respect to USACE Levee Design

Criteria.

To identify potential levee deficiencies, we perform exhaustive historical data

evaluations to have a thorough picture of past and current performance of the levees.

We conduct preliminary field investigations and associated laboratory testing, and then

run preliminary analyses based on this information. Analysis results help us focus on

potential problem areas that need further investigation. We utilize historic and design

water elevations in our analyses.

Supplemental field investigations and final analyses help us define performance

deficiencies and separate levee reaches that meet performance criteria from those that

do not. We develop conceptual remediation alternatives for each deficiency identified.

We run analyses to verify the effectiveness of the alternatives, and prepare a conceptual

cost estimate for decision making.
