The water washed away the road\u2019s foundation and part of one lane slid down the hillside. The subsequent detour around the affected area created up to two (2) extra hours of commuting time for travelers. The roadway had to be opened quickly and safely, so the typical methods that might include cutting into the hillside, building large retaining walls, or building a series of soldier pile and lagging walls would not be practical.<\/p>\n<p>GeoStabilization\u2019s special-purpose drills installed initial \u201cbackwall\u201d soil nails from the roadway above, and then a band of reinforced shotcrete facing was installed. The crews then placed concrete barriers at the centerline of the roadway. This allowed single-lane traffic to commence and relieved the travel hardships for the local residents. The excavation and initial backwall were continued down to below the slide mass and unstable colluvial material. Then the future Geosynthetically Confined Soil\u00ae (GCS\u00ae) wall\u2019s foundation was constructed, which consisted of a micropile supported reinforced shotcrete cap. The micropiles provide axial support for the wall and transferred the wall\u2019s weight and traffic surcharge to more competent strata. With the foundation in place, the crews constructed a GCS\u00ae retaining wall. This wall, built in 8\u2033 lifts, became the roadbed for the rebuilt roadway. Once the wall was built high enough to be level with the \u201cold\u201d road, the outboard side of the GCS\u00ae wall received reinforced shotcrete facing to prevent future erosion of the wall face.<\/p>\n<p>GeoStabilization was able to deliver to the traveling public a functional design in the shortest possible timeframe, at the lowest cost, with the greatest roadway access during the entire process.<\/p>\n<p>ENR Southeast\u2019s entire list of winners can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enr.com\/blogs\/6-southeast-constructions\/post\/47132-enr-southeast-announces-2019-best-projects-award-winners\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3034 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geostabilization.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/ENR-Southeast-2-400x300-1.jpg\" alt=\"Construction Workers\" width=\"383\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.geostabilization.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/ENR-Southeast-2-400x300-1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.geostabilization.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/ENR-Southeast-2-400x300-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 383px) 100vw, 383px\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3035 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geostabilization.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/ENR-Southeast-1-400x300-1.jpg\" alt=\"Broke road\" width=\"384\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.geostabilization.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/ENR-Southeast-1-400x300-1.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.geostabilization.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/11\/ENR-Southeast-1-400x300-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- End Block: acf\/wysiwyg -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Engineering News-Record (ENR) Southeast recently recognized GeoStabilization International\u00ae as a Specialty Construction \u201cAward of Merit\u201d winner for the Tennessee SR 68 @ MP 5.2 Emergency Slide Project in Rhea County, Tennessee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3033,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","tags":[],"news-category":[],"class_list":["post-3032","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
