On October 21st, The Dutra Group answered an urgent call from Reclamation District #2040 to tackle a critical levee failure on Victoria Island. A massive breach was allowing over 5,000 gallons of water per minute to flood nearby fields.
Dutra crews quickly mobilized, deploying specialized marine equipment and transporting quarry stone from the San Rafael Rock Quarry. By 4:00 AM the next day, materials and equipment were on-site, slowing the water flow to a trickle within hours.
Working tirelessly, the team constructed a retention basin and rebuilt the levee using over 5,000 tons of material—all in just 48 hours—stabilizing the levee and protecting nearby land and critical infrastructure.
A tremendous effort by The Dutra Group to safeguard the community and restore safety!
