Sacramento River East Levee

• Construction Monitoring: Oversee and monitor the construction of the Sacramento River East Levee to ensure adherence to contract specifications, engineering standards, and safety regulations.
• Quality Assurance and Compliance: Ensure all construction activities comply with environmental, safety, and regulatory standards, maintaining the integrity of the levee system.
• Flood Protection: Enhance flood protection for local communities along the Sacramento River, safeguarding residents and infrastructure during high water events.
• Environmental Preservation: Monitor construction activities to minimize environmental disruption, ensuring protection of local wildlife habitats and water quality.
• Support for USACE and Odin Construction: Provide comprehensive oversight, technical support, and project reporting to both the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Odin Construction during the construction process.

• Construction Monitoring: Ongoing oversight of all levee construction activities, including earthwork, levee raising, and flood control infrastructure installation.
• Quality Control and Testing: Implementation of rigorous quality control measures to ensure construction materials, techniques, and final outcomes meet the high standards required by USACE and environmental regulations.
• Surveying and Inspections: Conducting detailed surveys and geotechnical inspections to assess construction progress, measure levee elevations, and confirm the levee’s stability and integrity.
• Environmental Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of the environmental impact of the construction work, including soil, water quality, and wildlife habitats, ensuring compliance with environmental protection standards.
• Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring adherence to federal, state, and local regulations, including floodplain management, habitat protection, and water quality standards.

• Pre-Construction Phase: Design and planning phases, including scope development and approval, took place in 2019, with input from USACE, local stakeholders, and environmental agencies.
• Construction Monitoring Phase: Monitoring began in 2020 as Odin Construction started the levee construction work. Ongoing monitoring will continue throughout the construction process, with regular progress updates and inspections.
• Completion and Reporting: Final reporting and quality assurance documentation will be provided to USACE upon project completion. The construction and monitoring phase is expected to be completed in stages, with full project completion projected by 2024.

• Environmental Compliance: The project adheres to environmental regulations, ensuring minimal impact to the surrounding ecosystem and preserving habitats along the Sacramento River.
• Flood Control Standards: All construction activities are conducted in alignment with flood control standards required by USACE, ensuring the levee system’s effectiveness during flood events.
• Regulatory Oversight: The project complies with federal, state, and local building codes and regulations, ensuring that all work is performed safely and within legal and environmental boundaries.
• Climate Resilience: The levee system is designed to provide long-term resilience against future climate risks, such as rising floodwaters and extreme weather events.

The Sacramento River East Levee Construction Monitoring project, managed in collaboration with Odin Construction, plays a crucial role in safeguarding nearby communities from flood risks. The project improves flood protection for residents and infrastructure along the Sacramento River, ensuring greater community resilience. Additionally, it supports the broader flood management goals of USACE, contributing to sustainable, long-term flood risk management solutions. By carefully monitoring construction activities, the project also minimizes environmental impacts, preserving local wildlife habitats and supporting sustainable land use practices.
