All South had a great time participating in the Gumbo Cook Off at St. Bernard’s first annual Guy McInnis Family Fest!

Such an exciting day! Check out our awesome First Place trophy!

All South Consulting Engineers completed the design of critical shipyard improvements for the Terrebonne Port Commission in December of 2018. The Port Commission needed to construct substantial improvements to a lease to Thoma-sea Shipyards at the Thoma-sea new construction yard. Thoma-sea has been awarded a major construction contract for a new vessel, with tight deadlines for the start of construction, and final delivery.

All South was asked to come up with a design to significantly strengthen the soils at the site, and to construct a steel bulkhead at the edge of the port slip. The soils needed more strength to support the 300’ vessel during construction, and the bulkhead is necessary to support the vessel launch.

All South completed the design of this $15M project in less than 3 months, a schedule driven by our client’s needs. This project is under construction in 2019, and will be completed this year.

All South is excited to take part in the re-opening of the Gonzales Civic Center. Following the devastating effects of the August 2016 floods, All South became instrumental in preparing the civic center for its re-opening. Our project managers successfully coordinated the design through construction, while our grant managers worked diligently to secure FEMA/grant funding for this project. Much to the City’s delight, the civic center re-opened just in time for the annual Jambalaya Fest!

All South was also able to secure Hazard Mitigation funding for the City, and, in conjunction with City officials and the design team, implemented removable flood gates surrounding the Center for added protection.

Job well done to all those involved, and congratulations to the City of Gonzales on the re-opening!

All South is acting as lead coastal engineer and surveying consultant for the Lake Lery Marsh Creation and Rim Restoration project in St. Bernard Parish. The project will create 177 acres of vital marsh within Lake Lery, nourish an additional 209 acres, and develop a rock embankment along the northwestern sector of Lake Lery to improve shoreline protection.

The scope includes all coastal engineering, coastal wave modeling, and surveying services conforming to the latest CPRA Marsh Creation Design Guidelines.

All South is excited about the opportunity to continue helping St. Bernard and the State in their coastal restoration strategies and designs!

All South is proud to be part of the team selected to design the Mid-Barataria Diversion Project. All South will be providing engineering design, topographic and hydrographic surveying for the project. This project will reconnect the river to the Mid-Barataria Basin and divert sediment and fresh water to build new land, maintain existing marshes and increase habitat resiliency to sea level rise and storm events.
