Cross Bayou Drainage Pump Station

Trigon provided engineering services to the construction contractor during the pre-construction and construction phases of this project, which consisted of the construction of a new six-pump stormwater drainage pump station with a total capacity of 1,300 cubic feet per second.

The project generally included a large pile-supported foundation, multi-story building structure, pumps and engines, integrated intake structure, suction and discharge basins, discharge piping, bar screens and cleaners, diesel oil storage tanks, utilities, electrical and controls systems, power generation and distribution, pilings, site work, levee T-wall, approach roadway and drive, and other ancillary work.

The site is located on the Lake Pontchartrain Hurricane Protection Levee at Cross Bayou Canal near Ormond in St. Charles Parish.
The project was performed for the Pontchartrain Levee District and is part of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development’s Statewide Flood Control Program. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was also a key stakeholder in this project.
