GeoNet Wireless network is self healing and will reconfi gure itself to tolerate disturbances to the physical environment.
This topology is more fl exible than star networks because it allows data communication to be established over longer distances and around obstructions.
GeoNet is a battery powered wireless data acquisition network compatible with all of Geokon’s vibrating wire sensors. It uses a cluster tree topology to aggregate data from the entire network to a single device - the network supervisor. GeoNet is especially benefi cial for projects where a wired infrastructure would be prohibitively expensive and diffi cult to employ.
The network consists of a Supervisor Node and up to 100 Sensor Nodes. Data collected at each node is transmitted to the supervisor. Once there, it can be accessed locally via PC or connected to network devices such as cellular modems for remote connectivity from practically any location.
NEWModel 8800-2
Network SupervisorModel 8800-1Sensor Node
Long battery life. Most applications measured in years.
Nodes separated from network will continue to collect and store dataautonomously.
Features & Advantages…
When network connectivity is re-established the data collected while offl ine will be transmitted to the supervisor.
GeoNet Nodes are comparable in price to a single channel datalogger.
Uses worldwide 2.4 GHz ISM band.
Self confi guring, easy installation.
GeoNet will automatically route data around obstructions.
All data collected and sent to the supervisor is also stored on each respective node.

Take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy lunch while networking and meeting new people! ASDSO is making reservations at some of the local eateries for our annual Dam Safety Dine-Around . Sign up in the morning in the registration area to claim a seat at your restaurant of choice . We’ll have lots of great places to choose from, and there will be a table waiting for you and some of your fellow attendees . This is a great way to extend your networking outside of the scheduled conference sessions -- and because anyone can sign up to dine at any restaurant, you never know who you might be seated with .
We’re reserving a limited number of tables, so sign up early if you want to participate . To learn more about the restaurants including the location and menu options check out the conference app . We’ll take the stress out of where to go and what to do . . . and leave the networking to you . This is an “ASDSO organized,” event, not ASDSO sponsored . We’ll make sure you have a seat, but lunch is on you!

New Orleans Storm Damage Risk Reduction System
In August 2005, an 18-foot storm surge, which produced 7-foot waves caused by Hurricane katrina, overpowered the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet and Gulf Intercoastal Waterway, ultimately causing the collapse of a 4,000 foot long section of the floodwall along Louisiana’s Inner Harbor Navigation Canal (IHNC) . This and other levee and floodwall breaches brought nearly 15 feet of floodwaters into many southeastern Louisiana neighborhoods, covering a 90,000 mile area . After the hurricane, Congress authorized the US Army Corps of Engineers to design and construct a Storm Damage Risk Reduction System (SDRRS) which would defend against the effects of a future storm surge event . The largest civil works design-build project in the Corp’s history, the $1 .35 billion Inner Harbor Navigational Canal (IHNC) Surge Barrier is designed to reduce risk for some of southeast Louisiana’s more vulnerable areas from a future storm surge generated from Lake Borgne and the Gulf of Mexico . Nearly two miles long and 26 feet high, the project was completed in 2011 and helps keep the region a vital and safe commercial destination .
Field Trip
Facilities included in the tour:
The IHNC – Lake Borgne Surge
Barrier is the largest design-build civil works project in the history of the USACE . The
concrete barrier wall stretches for
1 .8 miles across the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet
and the Golden Triangle Marsh . It also consists of a bypass barge gate and a flood control sector gate (each 150 feet wide) at the GIWWV and a 56 foot wide vertical lift gate at Bayou Bienvenue . The surge barrier has floodwall tie-ins to the New Orleans East risk reduction system on the north end and the St . Bernard risk reduction system on the south end . The entire structure is at an elevation of 25 and 26 feet above sea level .
The Mississippi River Levees (MRL) are an integral part of both the Lake Pontchartrain and Vicinity (LPV) and West Bank and Vicinity (WBV) hurricane projects . For some reaches of the river, the HSDRRS and the MRL coincide, meaning they serve a dual purpose of providing risk reduction from both riverine flooding and hurricane surge flooding . Some reaches of the river levees are “co-located,” meaning that the required levee grade to reduce risk from the storm surge that has a one percent chance of occurring in any given year is higher than the levee grade required to reduce risk from a riverine event . There are approximately 15 .5 miles of co-located levees and pile supported floodwalls located along the west bank of the Mississippi River .
19
The gulf Intracoastal Waterway – West Closure Complex provides the first line of defense for communities on the West Bank of the Mississippi River from storm surge entering the Harvey and Algiers Canals from the Gulf of Mexico . The WCC will significantly reduce the risk to a large area of the West Bank by eliminating 25 miles of levees, floodwalls, floodgates and pumping stations along the canals from the direct impacts of storm surge . The nearly $1 Billion project consists of the nation’s largest sector gate, the world’s largest drainage pump station, floodwalls, sluice gates, foreshore protection and an earthen levee .
The Permanent Canal Closures and Pumps on the Outfall Canals were constructed and installed before the start of the 2006 hurricane season . These interim structures provide 100-year level risk reduction and will remain in place until the new permanent structures are completed . The total maximum pumping capacity today at the three outfall canal pumps is more than 16,000 cubic feet per seconds (cfs) . Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) equipment installed at the outfall canals gives the Corps a remote computerized control system to operate the pumps
and gates while monitoring water levels in the
canals . The pumps, gates and SCADA
equipment performed successfully during Hurricanes
Gustav and Ike in 2008,
and Hurricane Isaac in 2012 . Major
construction is well
under way on the Permanent Canal Closures and Pumps (PCCP), which will be completed in 2017 . The total maximum pumping capacity at the three outfall canal pumps upon completion will be 24,300 cfs .

4:45 pm – 5:15 pmDam Incidents and failures Portal Demo - gannett fleming
In 2013, James Demby, Jr ., PE, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency authorized a project team to research dam failures and incidents and select the most appropriate information to include in a compen-dium of lessons learned supported by case histories . The primary goal of this project was to convey educa-tional information relating to and resulting from dam failures and incidents in an innovative, user-friendly manner . As a result, the Lessons Learned from Dam Incidents and Failures website was created . The website – www .damfailures .org – was launched on Sept . 1, 2015 . It is currently hosted and maintained by the Associa-tion of State Dam Safety Officials with oversight and ongoing contributions by the association’s Dam Failures and Incidents Committee . Please attend this short but instructive demonstration to learn more about how to use or contribute to this valuable online resource .
