The City of New Orleans Department of Public Works (DPW) and Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans (SWBNO) are working together to implement an unprecedented program to restore infrastructure damaged by Hurricane Katrina’s floodwaters. The $2.3B program is the most comprehensive infrastructure program in the long history of the City of New Orleans. The City of New Orleans Department of Public Works selected Forte and Tablada, Inc. (formerly PEC) to prepare plans and specifications for roadway improvements in three areas of the Gentilly Terrace neighborhood designated as Groups B, C and K.
For Groups B and K, Forte and Tablada developed a detailed design report recommending drainage and other utility improvements for the neighborhood, including the addition of green infrastructure. Forte and Tablada is responsible for preliminary and final design and preparation of plans and specifications for repairs of over 25,800 linear feet of full reconstruction roadways and 17,800 linear feet of roadways for incidental paving along with FEMA eligible waterline replacement. The entire project is ADA compliant and includes pedestrian walkways.
For Group C, Forte and Tablada is responsible for the Pavement reconstruction project for several other dilapidated streets in the Gentilly Terrace neighborhood. The project includes removal and replacement of existing asphalt and concrete pavement and drainage structures, as well as replacement of waterline and sewer main, including the addition of green infrastructure. Plan development tasks include horizontal and vertical geometry, subsurface drainage design, cross section development and earthwork computations. The project is ADA compliant and includes pedestrian walkways.
