Mongomery Point L&D

The purpose of this study was to find a solution to reduce or eliminate outdraft at MPLD and produce a report that communicates the results of the HSR analysis of various river engineering measures.

The goals of this study were to:

  • Investigate and provide analysis on the existing flow mechanics causing the outdraft and navigation alignment problems.
  • Investigate and provide analysis on the existing flow mechanics causing the outdraft and navigation alignment problems.
    • The alternative should reduce or eliminate the outdraft at MPLD.
    • The alternative should reduce or eliminate the outdraft at MPLD.
  • Communicate to other engineers, lockmasters, river industry personnel, and environmental agency personnel the results of the HSR model tests and the plans for improvements.
