Levees
Blackburn Consulting provided investigation, design, and construction services for some of the most significant levee evaluations in Northern California:
- Feather River West Levee Rehabilitation Project
- Southport Early Implementation Project
- Star Bend Setback Levee Project
- Non-Urban Levee Evaluation Project
- SAFCA Levee Accreditation Project
These projects have included setback levees, seepage cutoff walls, seepage berms, seismic assessments, stabilization, erosion mitigation, condition assessments, and borrow site evaluations. We’ve cultivated valuable relationships with our local US Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Water Resources, Levee District, and Flood Control Agency contacts. We also work with the area’s premier civil levee designers and senior review consultants.
