Lafourche Parish Master Drainage Plan

CHALLENGE
 
For many years, Lafourche Parish has struggled with how to handle drainage due to the effects of tropical thunderstorm events in its gravity and forced drainage systems.
 
 
SOLUTION
TBS developed the master plan that involves the design of workable models that can be used by the parish and updated in the future. These models are a product of utilizing public input through a website, public meetings, contacting public agencies and meetings with local civil engineers and council members.
