Slope Instability Across Montana

glacial till on mountain slopes and Belt Supergroup clay-rich formations create persistent slope instability along corridors like Going-to-the-Sun Road, I-90, and US-93. When slopes move, infrastructure fails — highways close, rail lines shift, and the cost of delayed action compounds.

Access Limited provides landslide remediation and soil nail walls for MDT and Glacier NP mountain corridors engineered from site-specific investigation data.

Slope Stabilization Solutions for Montana

Access Limited addresses slope instability across Montana with landslide remediation, soil nail wall systems, GCS® walls, steep slope erosion control, and horizontal drain systems — each engineered for the specific failure mechanism along corridors like Going-to-the-Sun Road, I-90, and US-93.

Landslide Remediation

Landslide stabilization addresses slopes that have already failed or are actively moving. Access Limited investigates the failure surface, determines the driving forces, and designs the stabilization that arrests movement on Montana terrain. Emergency landslide response is available 24/7.

Soil Nail Walls

Soil nail walls reinforce slopes by installing steel reinforcement into the soil mass with shotcrete facing. Access Limited Soil Nail Launcher installs nails at production rates that cut construction time on MDT corridors.

GCS® Wall Systems

Geosynthetically Confined Soil walls provide engineered slope stabilization using reinforced soil lifts — cost-effective alternatives to traditional retaining structures where Montana soil conditions permit.

Erosion Control

Steep slope erosion control prevents the progressive material loss that leads to failure. Access Limited designs surface water management, bioengineered protection, and armored drainage channels calibrated for Montana precipitation and soil erodibility.

Horizontal Drains

Horizontal drains relieve pore water pressure within the slope mass — often the single most effective stabilization measure available. Access Limited installs horizontal drain arrays based on measured groundwater conditions at each Montana site, reducing the pore pressure that drives the majority of slope failures. UAS-based geohazard assessments support drain design with high-resolution terrain data.

How Access Limited Stabilizes Slopes

Every slope project follows a five-step process.

Step 1

Slope Investigation

Field engineers map slope geometry, soil conditions, and drainage patterns to define the instability.

Step 2

Stabilization Design

Engineers design soil nail walls, GCS walls, drainage, erosion control, or a combination based on site data.

Step 3

Equipment Mobilization

Spider Excavators, Soil Nail Launchers, and specialty crews deploy with all materials staged.

Step 4

Construction

Crews install soil nails, construct GCS walls, place horizontal drains, and build erosion control per the design.

Verification

Post-construction drain flow testing and slope instrumentation confirm the stabilization performs as designed.

Landslide Repair for Infrastructure in California

“I would like to thank you and the county for repairing the road slide on Dunne avenue. The repair is excellent and the contractors were very efficient and skilled. You personally did a great job of providing information about the status of the project. My family appreciates your efforts.”

Landslide Repair for Road in Wyoming

"We got notice today that GSI has completed the remediation work at the [road] Slide.  WYDOT greatly appreciates the responsiveness from GSI regarding the issues that occurred this spring.  Kirk and I were at the site last week right after they finished installing the micropiles and row of soil nails.  Everything looked great, I hope everything worked out coordinating traffic control with our maintenance folks.  Great job!, it is gratifying to work with such a professional, responsive organization."

Geohazard Services for Transportation Infrastructure in Oregon

Just wanted to send a thank you to your crew as they were outstanding on our project up on Hwy 47 mp 6.3. I really appreciated the great communication and the hard work they did for us.
