  • Storm Surge and the Future of the Houston Ship
    Storm Surge and the Future of the Houston Ship Channel By Jim Blackburn, SSPEED Center, Rice University Excerpted from work-in-progress with Amy Jaffe, Council on Foreign Relations The Houston Ship Channel and Galveston Bay are home to eight major refineries and over 200 chemical plants producing a variety of plastics and other synthetic products. This industrial infrastructure provides about 12% of U.S. refining capacity, produces about 27% of the nation’s jet fuel and an even larger percentage of military-grade jet fuel, about 13% of the nation’s gasoline, and about 25% of the U.S. production of ethylene/propylene. This is a key region for U.S. national security as well as for the Texas and Houston-area economies. Unfortunately, this petrochemical complex is at significant risk of long- term catastrophic failure due to the potential impact of hurricane storm surge. Over the last 100 years, severe hurricanes with substantial surge have missed the Houston region. Galveston was destroyed by a major hurricane in 1900, about the time that oil and gas was discovered on the Texas coast. The major development of the Houston Ship Channel industrial complex lagged behind that oil discovery in Spindletop by at least two decades and experienced major growth and expansion before and after World War II. To date, the largest surge recorded up the Houston Ship Channel was from Hurricane Ike in 2008 and Hurricane Carla in 1961, and neither of those storms generated more than about thirteen to fourteen feet of surge up the channel, a level that can generally be accommodated by these industries.

  • Suppresion of Hurricane Surge Forerunner and Peak Surge in Galveston and West Bay Achieved with A
    Proceedings THC-IT-2018 Conference & Exhibition SUPPRESION OF HURRICANE SURGE FORERUNNER AND PEAK SURGE IN GALVESTON AND WEST BAYS ACHIEVED WITH A WESTERN SEGMENT OF THE COASTAL SPINE. Bruce A. Ebersole, Thomas W. Richardson and Robert W. Whalin Jackson State University Jackson, Mississippi Abstract The original Ike Dike concept was a coastal barrier, or “spine”, comprised of a continuous line of dike/wall sections that followed the coastline from Freeport, TX to Sabine Pass, TX, with storm surge gate systems at the two tidal passes, San Luis Pass and Bolivar Roads. The Ike Dike concept has evolved slightly to a shorter alignment, which turns inland at High Island and follows Texas State Highway 124 north to Winnie, TX. This latest alignment, referred to herein as Alignment 1a and comprised of western, middle and eastern dike sections, is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 The Gulf Coast Community Protection and Recovery District (GCCPRD) conducted a Storm Surge Suppression Study; and, in their 2016 Phase 3 Report they recommended a different alignment for a coastal spine. The approximate alignment they recommended is shown in Figure 2, referred to here as Alignment 2. Their recommended alignment had only a middle section, without any eastern or western sections, and it had a storm surge gate system only at Bolivar Roads. The tidal inlet at San Luis Pass is left open in their recommended plan. The alignment shown in Figure 2 is approximate, in the sense that it is situated at the coastline; whereas, the actual alignment recommended by the GCCPRD is situated along the highways on both Galveston Island and Bolivar Peninsula.
