CASE STUDY

The Templeman III and IV jails were demolished in 2007 due to damage sustained from Hurricane Katrina. GSE provided a complete engineering design for phase II of the new Correctional Complex Plan, a 500-bed inmate housing facility built in New Orleans, LA, funded by FEMA. The 40,000-square-foot medium security facility consisted of four identical inmate buildings, a two-story visitation and staff building, and outside recreational areas. Scope of work included project management of the civil design and survey coordination along with structural, fire protection, electrical and mechanical engineering design.
