Louisiana Cajun Bayou
DDG was tasked with providing design services for the Bayou Lafourche Area Convention and Visitor’s Bureau. The project consisted of relocating the main entry from the front of the building to the side for immediate access into the visitor’s center itself. The interior work consisted of renovating the two level exhibit space to allow for more exhibits, a reception area, a brochure area, and a secluded conference room. The exhibits (designed and installed by Glen Pitre of Cote Blanche Productions) themselves were designed to match the custom reception desk made of materials native to the area.

Rienzi + Coulon Canals Modeling Study
The Rienzi / North Canal Drainage Basin includes approximately +/- 1,900 acres of land. Due to drainage issues, the North Lafourche Drainage District requested DDG to investigate and determine areas of deficiency that need to be addressed for overall efficiency. DDG’s survey team provided additional investigations of the drainage area. DDG’s civil team used the information collected to better define the drainage patterns and make recommendations by greatest necessity and cost expectations.

Abby Road Drainage Improvements
LPG approached DDG to design a subsurface drainage system along Abby Road in Thibodaux. DDG conducted a hydraulic analysis and investigation of the area to determine the most cost-efficient culverts to sufficiently convey the storm water. Based on the analysis and the needs of parish, double barrel culverts were installed in the existing drainage ditches to resolve the inadequate conveyance of storm water. DDG sized the required culverts based on the hydraulic analysis and prepared construction documents for the required improvements.
