Canals/Levees

Most recently, in 2006 and 2007, Ceres Environmental Services, Inc. was awarded contracts from the USACE for the emergency repair and construction of levees in the Parishes of St. Bernard and Plaquemines Parishes, Louisiana. These levees were a portion of the canal system in Louisiana damaged by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. The repairs included reconstruction or repair of 4 levees totaling over 12 miles of levee and required excavation of unsuitable existing material, replacement and compaction of specification material, installation of barriers, and final grading and stabilization.
