Davenport negotiates trade-off between river views and flooding
May 5, 2008

As the Quad Cities deal with the fourth major flood in two decades, the US Army Corps of Engineers, which manages the Mississippi River, is answering questions about why Davenport doesn't have a floodwall. It's the only major city between Minneapolis and St. Louis without one, but city officials say that a floodwall would inhibit the river view and take away one of the area's main tourist attractions.

We can help you with water-control gates for floodwalls and geomembranes for flood protection. Please feel free to contact us with your questions.
