Estimated Cost: million

Mayronne Canal - Under Design
Project consists of improvements to Mayronne Canal from Dugues Canal to Westwood Drive. The canal section will be a combination of earthen (1300 LF) and concrete-lined (1860 LF) channel.
Estimated Cost: million

Soniat Canal (Lester to Lynnette) - Nearing Construction and expected to begin first half of 2010.
This project will consist of building approximately 2600-foot section of modified trapezoidal concrete channel between
the Lynnette Bridge and Lester Street.
Estimated Cost: million

Harahan Pump to the River - Currently Under Design
This is one of SELA’s most ambitious projects to date, containing five major components with an estimated cost 0 million. It includes a 689-foot suction canal from the Soniat Canal to the pumping station, a 1,200 cfs pumping station, three 84-inch diameter discharge pipes extending 8,900 feet from the pumping station to the Mississippi River, a reinforced concrete levee crossing, and a reinforced concrete discharge basin.

Soniat Canal (West Metairie Ave. to Lester Ave.) - Currently Under Design
Construction of approximately 500 linear feet of modified trapezoidal concrete channel between Lester Avenue and West Metairie. The project includes replacement of the westbound West Metairie Avenue Bridge and the project is scheduled to be under construction in 2011.
Estimated Cost: .0 million

Westwego No. 2 Pump Station Diesel Engine
This project replaced the electric pump drive with a diesel drive unit, making the Pump Station fully operational during a storm event. The project also included other equipment needed for operation of the additional diesel unit.
Cost: .74 million

Westminster Pump Station Improvements
Improvements included the installation of a backup generator at the Westminster Lincolnshire Pump Station and the construction of a generator building adjacent to the pump station to provide electrical power for the pump station during a storm event. This project began in January 2007 and was completed in September 2008.
Cost: .0 million

Cousins Canal Phase 2
Canal improvements were made from a point approximately 700 feet west of the Woodmere Bridge to the Pipeline Canal by constructing a concrete U-frame. This project was completed in August of 2009.
Cost: .2 million

Cousins Pump Station Improvements
The Cousins Pump Station Project is part of the West Bank Hurricane Protection Project and the SELA Project (50%/50% funded).  The increase was necessary because the Hurricane Protection Project installed flood gates in the Harvey Canal making the Harvey Pump Station in operable when the gates were closed. The pump station improvements increased the pumping capacity of the station by 2000 cfs. The project became operational in mid September 2009.
Cost: .0 million

Grand Cross Canal at Lapalco
This project includes the construction of box culverts at the intersection of Lapalco and the Grand Cross Canal to supplement the existing culvert. The project was completed in August of 2009.
Cost: .1 million

First Harahan Pump to the River Discharge Tube Contract
A section of discharge tubes that potentially could conflict with a LaDOTD roadway contract has been installed. The project involved installation of three 680 foot long 84” diameter discharge pipes.
Cost: .5 million

Soniat Canal (Veterans to Canal No. 3)
This project includes two short areas of the Soniat Canal between West Napoleon & Veterans Blvd. and from Veterans Blvd. north to the confluence of Canal No. 3. Improvements to the canal section involved construction of a concrete “U” frame. This project was completed in August of 2009.
Cost: .3 million

Elmwood Canal at Kawanee
This project wrapped up in December of 2008. Improvements included demolition of the existing bridge, construction of a new bridge and channel improvements at the intersection of Kawanee and Elmwood Canal. The project has been turned over to the parish for operation and maintenance.
Cost: .7 million

The parish drainage system and SELA projects are critical during heavy rain events, particularly during hurricanes. Pump stations and debris removing equipment will be monitored around the clock from strategically located safe rooms.

To date, 13 safe rooms have been built in Jefferson Parish allowing pump station operators to stay on-site during a hurricane to operate the drainage pumps as necessary during the event. Construction of the last five of those safe rooms and installation of additional remote controls provide control of 15 major pump stations from the safe rooms.
The pump stations are equipped with cameras and sensors, and pumps can be monitored and operated from safe rooms through fiber optic signals that operate valves and other equipment.

The construction of the last 5 safe rooms and installation of the additional remote controls were financed by the Army
Corps of Engineers as part of Jefferson Parish Pump Station Storm Proofing Project. This concept is efficient, economical, allows operation during a storm event and lessens the response time after the storm passes.
