摘要: The sheer frequency of allisions at the Brazos River Floodgates on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) near Freeport, Texas, is astonishing. Speaking to GIWW stakeholders who gathered in New Orleans July 28 for the annual seminar of the Gulf Intracoastal Canal Association, Rob Dauenhauer with the Inland Navigation Design Center compared the difficulty of navigating the existing sector gates on either side of the Brazos River to driving a car without brakes. "Brazos would be kind of like this: If your car didn't have brakes and the concrete was about 6 inches from each edge of the car," Dauenhauer said. "And that's on a good day with ideal conditions, right? Here, they've got wind, currents, tides, everything else in the world to deal with."
