Draft Plan Set - RDB Wall - April 2026 Industry Day.pdf

This is a draft plan set document for the Right Descending Bank (RDB) Wall component of the Brandon Road Interbasin Project, presented at an Industry Day scheduled for April 7, 2026. The document appears to be technical design drawings and specifications for the RDB Wall construction, which forms part of Increment II of the three-phase project. Increment II focuses on the Flushing Lock and Right Descending Bank construction contract, with the RDB Wall serving as a critical structural element to support the overall invasive species deterrent system at the Brandon Road Lock.

The Brandon Road Interbasin Project is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers initiative managed by the Rock Island District to prevent invasive carp and other invasive species from entering the Great Lakes through the lock chamber and approach channel. The project incorporates multiple deterrent measures including electric, hydroacoustic, and bubble deterrents while maintaining river navigation capability. This Industry Day presentation seeks to brief potential contractors on the scope of work and solicit feedback on design improvements to enhance construction efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The RDB Wall plans presented are intended to inform contractors about the structural requirements and design approach prior to formal solicitation of the Increment II construction contract.
