Levees Inspection,
Evaluation and Rehabilitation
GENTERRA’s personnel have many
years of experience in levee engineering,
inspections, operations, maintenance and
design of repairs and rehabilitation measures.
Company projects have included inspections and
geotechnical investigations for the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers and emergency evaluation and
repair of levees for flood control districts.
The company’s personnel, strengthened by
laboratory and field testing capabilities, offer
a complete range of consulting services in the
planning, investigation, design, construction,
consultation, and evaluation of levees.
We provide the following for levees:
·
Initial and continuing inspections of levees
·
Evaluations of damage and design of emergency
repairs

·
Design services, including scour and erosion
protection, seepage control, and construction
specifications for rehabilitation or
modification of existing levees.
