Join us as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and explore the vital missions of the Tulsa District. From water resource management to engineering innovation, this video highlights how Tulsa District continues to serve our communities.
Collin Abernathy, maintenance mechanic, Tulsa District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, welds an eight inch diameter, steel pipe to a standard piping flange at the Marine Maintenance Unit Terminal in Sallisaw, Oklahoma, Nov. 7, 2024. The MMU mechanics fabricate and use pipes to pump water out of lock chambers during dewatering activities. Locks must be dewatered periodically for inspection and repairs. Tulsa District MMU mechanics perform much of the maintenance on the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System in Oklahoma.
