Kansas City's levees Flood protection Project, Missouri

Protecting approximately 27,000 citizens and infrastructure valued at over $10 billion from flooding is at the heart of the project initiated by Lane (a Webuild Group) in the city of Kansas City, Missouri. This is an environmental rehabilitation program aimed at preventing flooding and levee overtopping in the heart of the city. The protective works also include one of the largest rail yard networks in the United States, located between Missouri and Kansas.

The planned works include raising existing levees and floodwalls by an average of four feet (over a meter), replacing and modifying them, building new sections, and numerous rail yard flood gate closure structures located in the states of Kansas and Missouri, along some 17 miles of the units Argentine and Armourdale, and the Central Industrial District Levee (CID), on the Kansas River.
