The Brandon Road Interbasin Project is a critical control point in preventing Invasive Species, including Invasive Carp fish, from becoming established in the Great Lakes. This project will construct a series of deterrent measures in the lock chamber and approach channel. Once complete, a series of electric, hydroacoustic, and bubble deterrents will be operational while facilitating river navigation traffic. The project is broken into 3 construction increments (shown below). This presentation will focus on Increment II – Flushing Lock and Right Descending Bank Construction Contract. The purpose of this engagement is to provide contractors awareness of the upcoming contract and also to solicit feedback during this presentation regarding ways to improve the design to allow for more efficient and cost-effective construction.

Industry Day Highlights:

• Attend the presentation with detailed information about the project scope, timeline, and specific requirements for each phase.
• Get your questions answered by USACE representatives and project engineers during Q&A.
• Provide feedback on how to improve design to allow for more efficient and cost-effective construction.
• Network with potential prime contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers to explore partnerships and innovative solutions.

Presentation will include:

• Project Background
• Construction Phasing and Sequencing
• Status of Increment II Design
• Details of Increment II Design
• Industry Questions
