For over 30 years, Affinis has worked with levee districts to keep communities safe. By acting as the chief engineer for a local district, we have learned what it takes to operate and maintain a levee. This hands-on experience helps our team provide turnkey service to our clients. Some of our levee engineering services include:

  • Levee periodic inspections
  • Creation of O& M manuals
  • Pump station inspections, assessments, and design
  • Relief well design
  • Stability analysis
  • Seepage analysis

As our chief engineer, Affinis responded quickly to our requests. Jason’s relationships with the Kansas City District and knowledge of L-385 has been extremely beneficial.

In 1993, flooding caused water to reach to top of the levees in Kansas City. To protect businesses and residences from future floods, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has embarked on the process of raising 60 miles of levees along the Kansas river, as well as a small section of the Missouri river. These changes will impact 27,000 residences and 100,000 jobs.

Two of our clients, the City of Leavenworth, Kansas and Riverside Quindaro Bend Levee District (RQBLD) have already taken measures to protect their communities and prevent flooding. Last month, we worked closely with both entities to prepare for heavy rains, which impacted parts of the metro area.
