After Hurricane Katrina, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers agreed to assume full responsibility for repair of New Orleans' drainage pumps, as well as to install new floodgate pumps. Almost ten years later, much work remains undone, or is having to be redone. I am here to document that work, and to push them to do it right.
Thanks man. Silly question I know, but, is that a photo of a pump mechanism currently installed on one of our outfall canals? Some of us need to be led by the hand with captions.
Let me guess, what I'm looking at is the power piping to an M.W.I. hydraulic pump. The greasy spots near the fittings and flanges are leaking hydraulic fluid.
What do I get for a prize?
This photo shows what it's supposed to look like without corrosion: http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/395/3790/1600/Floodgate%20pumps.jpg

There's a saying: rust never sleeps...
