| URS JV to support California dam and levee safety program A joint venture of URS Corp and GEI was selected by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District to provide engineering services in support of the district's dam and levee safety programs. The joint venture will perform a wide variety of services to help ensure the safety of the region's dams and levees, generally within the South Pacific Division's military and civil boundaries, and for any of the division's customers. These services will encompass investigation, studies and design leading to the construction of flood management structures, including major dams, levees and channels and associated appurtenant structures and construction phase services. In addition to the dam safety program, the contract will support the Corps with critical inspection and assessment of the 15,000 miles of California levees that provide critical flood protection for urban and non-urban areas. The Levee Safety Branch of the Corps is facing an accelerated schedule to complete the inspection and assessment by the end of 2012. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
