USACE Galveston District - Texas City I-Wall Replacement   3

Background
The project is initiated by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Galveston District, aimed at replacing the existing floodwall in Texas City, Texas. The mission of the USACE is to provide vital engineering services and support for national security and disaster response. This contract specifically focuses on enhancing flood protection infrastructure within an active chemical refinery environment.

Work Details
The scope of work includes the demolition of approximately 360 linear feet of existing floodwall and the construction of approximately 360 linear feet of new floodwall. The existing I-wall will be replaced with a concrete inverted T-wall that extends from an average ground elevation of approximately 9.5 feet to an elevation of 22.25 feet. This construction will involve approximately 12,800 linear feet of steel H-piles and various earthwork activities.

The contractor is required to provide security personnel to meet MARSEC (Maritime Security) requirements due to the work area's proximity to an active chemical refinery. Additionally, vibration monitoring will be necessary during construction activities, and all loading and unloading operations along the dock must be coordinated with INEOS.

Place of Performance
The construction projects will be performed in Galveston County, Texas City, Texas.
