| 摘要： | Day 1 of the annual seminar of the Gulf Intracoastal Canal Association (GICA), held in New Orleans July 27-28, was infrastructure rich, with reports from Tracy Zea, president and CEO of Waterways Council Inc., lock masters from structures in Louisiana and Texas and district-level representatives from the Mobile, New Orleans and Galveston Engineer Districts. Three of the projects discussed-the Brazos River Floodgates, Bayou Sorrel Lock and the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal Lock (IHNC)-exist within a now-but-not-yet reality, with the current structures obsolete yet critical to the marine transportation system and their replacements years, if not decades, away. Of those three Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) projects, the Brazos River Floodgates is the closest to construction, with a plan already in place to replace the two 75- by 750-foot-long floodgates on the east and west side of the Brazos River near Freeport, Texas, with 125-foot-wide sector gates on the east side and a 125-foot-wide channel-and no gate-on the west side. |
