New London, Conn – GEI Consultants, Inc. was selected by the City of New London, Connecticut to perform levee accreditation services for the New London Hurricane Protection System as mandated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The accreditation process is an important evaluation for ensuring compliance with the flood control requirements set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations (44CFR 65.10). GEI and its subcontractors provided survey services to create topographic mapping of the flood control system, and land record research to confirm ownership and levee encroachment issues. The team completed inspections and evaluations of components within the hurricane barrier system including earthen levees, concrete floodwalls, a vehicular closure gate, a pumping station, underground conduits, and associated sluice gates and valves. GEI also reviewed and updated the City of New London’s Maintenance and Operations Plans for its Hurricane Protection System.
