These pictures are a behind-the-scenes look at the West Closure Complex pumps. Each pump is powered by a 5,400-horsepower diesel engine, and together the 11 pumps can move 19,140 cubic feet of stormwater per second from the Harvey and Algiers canals.
The West Closure Complex is an important feature of the West Bank and Vicinity system that shields over 26 miles of flood protection along the Harvey and Algiers canals from storm surge exposure.
