The Challenge
- Louisiana CPRA deploys iLevee for flood protection in New Orleans
- iLevee offers real-time monitoring and early warning for system performance
- Its objective: state-of-the-art flood protection monitoring and response
The State of Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Agency (CPRA) deployed a state-of-the-art Intelligent Flood Protection Monitoring, Warning and Response System (iLevee) at strategic locations within the greater New Orleans area for early warning of undesirable performance of the flood protection system. The objectives of the system are to provide state-of-the-art, real-time monitoring for early warning of undesirable performance of the flood protection system.

The Solution
Geocomp was the Program Manager for the Intelligent Levee, or iLevee program, a $3M, 2-year contract to incorporate sensor data from 13 test installations, visual observations from emergency personnel, operations and maintenance information from the levee districts and other publicly-available data streams into a geographical informational management (GIS) system. Geocomp also used risk assessment tools and decision theory aids to identify where monitoring should be deployed to provide the largest reduction in risk. The results of this Phase 1 program were used in the design for the future full-scale roll-out of the system.
