Status Update from the Army Corps on the Permanent Canal Closures and Pumps (PCCP)
Click on the picture to enlarge.
Each week, we’ll update the Army Corps of Engineers – New Orleans District’s inspection and repair status of the Permanent Canal Closures and Pumps (PCCP) at the 3 stations by the New Orleans Lakefront.
USACE along with its partners are inspecting and, if necessary, repairing each of the 17 pumps at the Permanent Canal Closures and Pumps (PCCP) facilities. These inspections are in response to our identification that corrosion is the cause of an overheating pump at the London Avenue PCCP.
The Army Corps is dedicated to ensuring that the PCCP are reliable and will perform as designed during the 2023 hurricane season. They will undertake additional measures to deliver pumps that meet the 35-year design specifications once the underlying cause of corrosion and appropriate path forward are identified.
