Levees

PROTECTING LIFE, HEALTH, AND PROPERTY

Ames has decades of experience constructing, repairing, and enhancing flood control infrastructure that provides critical protection to people, businesses, and property.

Our levee construction capabilities include earthmoving, sheet piles, walls and support structures, and new drainage systems. Ames crews are accustomed to working in tight footprints adjacent to residential neighborhoods, deploying specialized equipment to control for noise and vibrations that would be disruptive to residents.
