Dealing with Flooding in Texas – Hurricane Harvey

Three key priorities to control and contain the devastating flood waters in Texas

flood warning map

Hurricane Harvey rolled into Texas on Aug 26th with devastating effect. It created damaging winds, a storm surge, extensive flooding that led to reservoirs overflowing, levee breaches, sink holes opening up, multiple oil spills and the washing away of polluted sites at the Brio Refining Inc and San Jacinto River Waste Pit.

Priority 1. Contain the Flood Waters

After days under siege Houston has turned into a city in recovery. The rebuilding program will take years to complete however the immediate response is to cut off the levee and flood wall breaches, cut off sink holes and contain oil spills and contaminants from flooded Superfund sites. Rapid response from the Corps of Engineers in New Orleans following Katrina involved extensive use of sand bags and steel sheet piling to seal levee breaches. Both materials are appropriate and immediate solutions to controlling floodwater. They enable natural or forced draw down of water levels without risk of further inundation. Sheet piling can easily and quickly be sealed to give an impermeable barrier against flow of contaminated liquids.

Priority 2. Prevent further Levee Failures

Potential exists for further levee failures caused by being subjected to high water levels for an extended period.

Submerged soil can collapse due to washing out of soil material. Underground collapse, is followed by settlement leading to overflow and major failure.

Priority 3. Rebuild Texas Flood Defenses

The Corps of Engineers has many methods to rebuild the failed levee system. Steel sheet piling is one option that has been used extensively in the rebuilding of levees in New Orleans and across the US. From reinforcing earthen levees to avoid collapse in the event of flooding, to preventing liquefaction in a seismic event, Service Steel engineers are at hand to offer guidance on any aspect of flood defense rebuilding effort.
