After two years of contract award battles, major construction will start this fall on the Permanent Canal Closures and Pumps project in New Orleans. The $700-million design-build project for the US Army Corps of Engineers is the last of the major pump stations to be rebuilt in the city.
Finally awarded the project is PCCP Constructors, a joint venture comprised of Kiewit, M.R. Pittman and Traylor Bros., along with a design team at Stantec.
