Project Experience

Columbia County Flood Risk Management System

A preliminary concept developed by the stakeholders included individual levees around the businesses. Borton-Lawson developed an alternative “U-Shaped” design to allow for better access, cost effectiveness, and the ability to expand the levee system in the future. This complex project was designed and permitted within 12 months and constructed with 18 months at a total cost of approximately $29 million. The system was operational in October 2016 and the second phase of the project is anticipated to be fully operational in 2020.
