eoNet is a battery powered wireless data acquisition network compatible with all of Geokon’s vibrating wire sensors. It uses a cluster tree topology to aggregate data from the entire network to a single device - the network supervisor. GeoNet is especially beneficial for projects where a wired infrastructure would be prohibitively expensive and difficult to employ.

The network consists of a Supervisor Node and up to 100 Sensor Nodes. Data collected at each node is transmitted to the supervisor.

Once there, it can be accessed locally via PC or connected to network devices such as cellular modems for remote connectivity from practically any location.

GeoNet Wireless network is self healing and will reconfigure itself to tolerate disturbances to the physical environment.

This topology is more flexible than star networks because it allows data communication to be established over longer distances and around obstructions. www.geokon.com

GeoNet will automatically route data around obstructions.

Nodes separated from network will continue to collect and store data autonomously.

When network connectivity is re-established the data collected while offline will be transmitted to the supervisor.

All data collected and sent to the supervisor is also stored on each respective node.

Field Trip New Orleans Storm Damage Risk Reduction System In August 2005, an 18-foot storm surge, which produced 7-foot waves caused by Hurricane Katrina, overpowered the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet and Gulf Intercoastal Waterway, ultimately causing the collapse of a 4,000 foot long section of the floodwall along Louisiana’s Inner Harbor Navigation Canal (IHNC). This and other levee and floodwall breaches brought nearly 15 feet of floodwaters into many southeastern Louisiana neighborhoods, covering a 90,000 mile area. After the hurricane, Congress authorized the US Army Corps of Engineers to design and construct a Storm Damage Risk Reduction System (SDRRS) which would defend against the effects of a future storm surge event. The largest civil works design-build project in the Corp’s history, the $1.35 billion Inner Harbor Navigational Canal (IHNC) Surge Barrier is designed to reduce risk for some of southeast Louisiana’s more vulnerable areas from a future storm surge generated from Lake Borgne and the Gulf of Mexico. Nearly two miles long and 26 feet high, the project was completed in 2011 and helps keep the region a vital and safe commercial destination.

Facilities included in the tour: The IHNC – Lake Borgne Surge Barrier is the largest designbuild civil works project in the history of the USACE. The concrete barrier wall stretches for 1.8 miles across the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet and the Golden Triangle Marsh. It also consists of a bypass barge gate and a flood control sector gate (each 150 feet wide) at the GIWWV and a 56 foot wide vertical lift gate at Bayou Bienvenue.

The surge barrier has floodwall tie-ins to the New Orleans East risk reduction system on the north end and the St. Bernard risk reduction system on the south end. The entire structure is at an elevation of 25 and 26 feet above sea level.

The Mississippi River Levees (MRL) are an integral part of both the Lake Pontchartrain and Vicinity (LPV) and West Bank and Vicinity (WBV) hurricane projects. For some reaches of the river, the HSDRRS and the MRL coincide, meaning they serve a dual purpose of providing risk reduction from both riverine flooding and hurricane surge flooding.

Some reaches of the river levees are “co-located,” meaning that the required levee grade to reduce risk from the storm surge that has a one percent chance of occurring in any given year is higher than the levee grade required to reduce risk from a riverine event. There are approximately 15.5 miles of co-located levees and pile supported floodwalls located along the west bank of the Mississippi River.

The Gulf Intracoastal Waterway – West Closure Complex provides the first line of defense for communities on the West Bank of the Mississippi River from storm surge entering the Harvey and Algiers Canals from the Gulf of Mexico. The WCC will significantly reduce the risk to a large area of the West Bank by eliminating 25 miles of levees, floodwalls, floodgates and pumping stations along the canals from the direct impacts of storm surge.

The nearly $1 Billion project consists of the nation’s largest sector gate, the world’s largest drainage pump station, floodwalls, sluice gates, foreshore protection and an earthen levee.

under way on the Permanent Canal Closures and Pumps (PCCP), which will be completed in 2017.

The total maximum pumping capacity at the three outfall canal pumps upon completion will be 24,300 cfs.

The Permanent Canal Closures and Pumps on the Outfall Canals were constructed and installed before the start of the 2006 hurricane season.

These interim structures provide 100-year level risk reduction and will remain in place until the new permanent structures are completed. The total maximum pumping capacity today at the three outfall canal pumps is more than 16,000 cubic feet per seconds (cfs). Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) equipment installed at the outfall canals gives the Corps a remote computerized control system to operate the pumps and gates while monitoring water levels in the canals. The pumps, gates and SCADA equipment performed successfully during Hurricanes Gustav and Ike in 2008, and Hurricane Isaac in 2012. Major construction is well
