Casting Field Stabilizing Zachary Area Riverbank Since 1961By James Ronald skains
The US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) is tasked with a monu-mental job in stabilizing the Missis-sippi River and its navigable tribu-taries banks to prevent erosion and other problems that impede naviga-tion. The USACE 210 acre Casting Field just north of Port Hudson on the banks of the Mississippi River plays a major role in the monumen-tal river stabilization process.
“The St. Francisville/ Port Hud-son mat casting yard is the only casting field south of Vicksburg,’’ Donald E. Rawson, Channel Im-provement Project Manager with the New Orleans office of the US-ACE told the Zachary Post. “Since its first use in 1961, the USACE has spent an average of $6 million an-nually on concrete mat casting at the Mississippi River area. Acrerage of 220,000 “squares” of concrete mattresses is cast there each year,” Rawson added. “A mattress square measures 4-feet by 25-feet and is 3-inches thick.

Zachary Jr Broncos “ELITE” youth football organization and the Zachary community experi-enced a special visit from he na-tion’s number 1 rated high school player and all American running back Leonard Fournette out of St. Augustine High School in New Orleans, La.

struction has been producing mats on the Mississippi River since 1948. Fordice has a long and unique his-tory of working with the Vicksburg office of the Corp of Engineers.
“We currently have three US-ACE employees working at the fa-cility during casting season,’’ Raw-son related. “The St. Francisville casting yard is very busy during the season because it takes 24,288 squares to protect a mile of river bank. Between Old River and the mouth of the Mississippi River, US-ACE has 362 miles of cutting river protected with revetment.’’
The USACE Vicksburg District is responsible for 68,000 square miles encompassing seven major river basins, including 278 miles of the Mississippi River’s main stem, in Arkansas, Mississippi and Loui-siana. Vicksburg District is also responsible for about 800 miles of commercially navigable streams and rivers including the Ouachita-Black system, the Pearl, the Red, and the Yazoo Rivers.
The Fordice name has been as-sociated with the Mississippi River and the USACE since before WWII. Dan K. Fordice, Sr. worked for the USACE Memphis District before WWII. He also fought in WWII in the Pacific Theatre, but after the war, returned to his old job with the Memphis office of the USACE where he ran the District’s Willow Mat Operation. He worked on vari-ous projects involving flood control on the Mississippi River including the design and casting of Concrete Articulated Mattresses.
In 1948, the Corps decided to
let the manufacture of articulated concrete mattresses to the private sector. Fordice, Sr. left the Corps, founded Fordice Construction Company and was awarded the first private mat contract. The Fordice Company has been casting Articu-lated concrete mattress for the Corp ever since and to date has cast over 6.5 million mats. Fordice recently received a $13,000,000 contract for more casting work at the St. Fran-cisville USACE field.
If the name Dan K. Fordice, Jr. is very familiar along the River, it because that after 30 years with the Construction Company, Dan Kirk Fordice, Jr. was elected Gov-ernor of Mississippi in 1991. The former Mississippi Governors two sons, Hunter L. Fordice and Dan K. Fordice III now own and operate the company. Dan K. Fordice III is in charge of the St. Francisville Mat Casting Division for the Fordice Company.
In March of this year, Kavana-ugh Breaseale with USACE Vicks-burg office released a summary of the Vicksburg District Mat Sink-ing Unit (MSU) eight-month re-
vetment season. The MSU placed 442,786 squares covering approxi-mately 1,018 acres. If these 3 feet by 2 feet, three inch thick concrete blocks were stacked, they would extend 21 miles high.
The MSU in the Vicksburg Dis-trict of USACE is the only one of its kind in the world and consist of motor vessels and barges and cranes. It is not an 8-5 job. The crew of approximately 300 men and women live and work on the boats. Every fall, during low-water time on the Mississippi River, the MSU crews turn out to resume one of the longest-running and most im-portant construction projects of the USACE – the placement of articu-lated concrete mattresses along the levees to prevent scour and protect communities.
Writer’s Note: Since the first mat casting contract at St. Francisville was let to Warren Brothers in 1961 for 107,090 squares of mats, the Articulated Concrete Mattress op-eration has been a steady economic factor for Zachary and the Felici-ana, providing dozens of jobs an-nually.

spent 5 years in the South Pacific Ocean and 1 year in the Korean War. Returning home, he went to work at Florida Gas Pipeline for 27 years. After retiring from Florida Gas, he went to work for EBRPSO in Civil Processing and retired from there 11 years later. He loved to travel and was an avid outdoorsman, especially enjoy-ing hunting and fishing. He was a member of First Baptist Church of Zachary. He is survived by his wife and the love of his life for 63 years, Dottie Hunt; two daughters, Mary Lou Sheridan and husband Brad; Jamie Kirby and husband Vernon; one son, David Hunt and wife Debbie. He has 8 grandchil-dren, Jodie Allen and wife Cassie, Lynn Mason and husband Rob-ert, Neal Allen and wife Taylor, Bert Kirby, De’Anne Pilcher and husband Nathan, Scott Hunt and wife Stacey, Janna LeGrange and husband Ben, Katie Amorello and

His favorite scripture was John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that who-ever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. In the end, his greatest gift of all was the essence of a man with spirit, a charming nature, distinguished humor and oversized humanity that will forever live on through his wife, children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
