Roadway and Drainage Improvements
The project consists of the construction of a new three lane concrete road to connect St. Etienne Road to Hwy 90 approximately 1,200 feet in length. This road will be used as an access to a proposed retail development center located between St. Etienne Road and Hwy 90. The project also relocates two drainage ditches that transect the property to the perimeter of the property to facilitate construction of the new retail development center.

Cypress Island / Joe Daigre Coulee Flood Study – (St. Martin Parish Gov’t Project)
The Cypress Island / Joe Daigre Drainage System Maintenance project is aimed to reduce flood risk to residential and commercial properties while increasing recreation and navigable opportunities throughout the Joe Daigre watershed. This is accomplished by implementing various drainage improvements to the Joe Daigre Coulee and its tributaries. The project includes deploying twelve (12) water level loggers throughout the watershed to monitor water surface elevations. The collected water level data is utilized for model calibration efforts, evaluation of hydraulic grades and identifying potential conveyance restrictions. Topobathymetric surveys include bridge and culvert structures and channel cross sections. Drone flights captured aerial imagery and videos throughout the watershed. DDG’s 2D numerical model evaluates existing conditions, post-maintenance conditions and alternative drainage improvements. DDG is providing alternatives analysis, conceptual design, opinion of probable construction costs, and environmental due diligence for proposed drainage improvements.
