Cairo, Illinois, Floodfight Sector: Ed Dean and Josh Beam from our Geospatial Branch packed up their gear last Friday (March 1) and headed to Mound City, Illinois. They carried with them our new Department of Defense approved Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). They used this new technology to capture some aerial imagery of the Mound City Cofferdam. The Corps of Engineers put the cofferdam in place in July 2018 in order to replace the Mound City South culvert in the mainline Ohio River levee.
