| 摘要： | After three years of work and $25.5 million, the Memphis Engineer District's new Bank Grading Unit (BGU) has arrived. The BGU was delivered April 11, docking at its new home at Ensley Engineer Yard in Memphis, Tenn. It replaces a 74-year-old unit as an essential part of revetment work along the Lower Mississippi. After clearing brush and debris from the riverbank, a pro- cess known as clearing and snagging, the BGU allows the Corps to smoothly slope the riverbank at an angle designed to keep it stable before the Vicksburg Engineer District's mat-sinking unit places an articulated concrete mattress on top, from the beginning of the angled edge to the bank's "toe," where it begins to flatten out on the bottom. The unit will be named Grader 1. |
