• Abstract:
  Olmsted Locks and Dam (L&D) is one of the largest civil works projects undertaken by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to lead the modernization effort of navigational facilities for the twenty-first century. Maintaining a robust navigational infrastructure to facilitate the water-borne transportation and to meet the demand for the ever-increasing traffic flows through our nations waterways is vital to our economy. Transportation of bulk commodities via our vast inland waterways not only provides the most economic mode of conveyance but also helps to conserve energy resources. In this complex world with its global economy, it becomes more demanding to increase productivity by making efficient and effective uses of resources. In this regard, the Corps' continuing effort to improve the navigation facilities using the latest technology is essential.
