Two sector totaling 300 feet will be built across the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway just south of the Harvey and Algiers canals, turning 25 miles of levees and floodwalls lining the canals into a second line of defense.
To prevent interior flooding when the gates are closed, the new pump station must match the output of nine smaller pump stations that discharge rainwater runoff into the canals.
The new station will be able to pump 20,000 cubic feet of water per second, enough to fill an Olympic-size pool in less than 5 seconds and double the capacity of Pump Station No. 6 on the Street
Hydraulic Hose Canal.
