Best Civil/Infrastructure Project: Intracoastal Waterway Bolsters Flood Defenses
Featuring the world's largest drainage pump station and largest navigable floodgate in the U.S., the $1-billion Gulf Intracoastal Waterway West Closure Complex is a critical part of the Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System that will provide the New Orleans area with 100-year-event flood protection and storm surge defense.
Gulf Intracoastal Constructors, a joint venture of Kiewit Infrastructure South and Traylor Brothers Inc., completed construction in June 2012.
