NEW ORLEANS – Repairs on five Plaquemines Parish non-federal storm water pump stations are set to begin in January 2009. The Corps of Engineers recently awarded a $1.65 million contract to modify the stations so that they can remain operable during storms.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded the contract to a local New Orleans firm, Healtheon, Inc., on December 19. The six month contract calls for repairs to Belle Chasse #1 and #2, Ollie, Grand DeLiard and Duvic pump stations.
“This contract is the fourth and final pump station repair project for Plaquemines Parish,” said Drew Walsh, Corps senior project manager for existing pump stations. “The work includes replacing motors, air compressors and generators as well as making some other minor improvements to the stations.”
Thus far, the Corps has awarded $14.3 million for pump station repairs in Plaquemines Parish.
The cost of the project will be 100 percent federally-funded. The Corps is working with the Plaquemines Parish government to complete the repairs.
