Constructing a Levee System along the Colorado River

The City of Wharton is subject to frequent flooding events leaving the residents with millions of dollars in damages with each major event. USACE has developed a levee system to mitigate future flooding events. Phase 1 of this construction consists of approximately almost 12,350 feet of new levee system and five interior water collection sumps. As a subcontractor, Brice is working on this earthwork project to construct a levee system that will prevent the Colorado River from flooding. Our scope includes excavation, embankment, material haul off, precast and cast in place drainage, gate structures, riprap, and road construction.
