As shown in the accompanying photo, the heavy rains and unusually high snowmelt caused water to wash over the road surface, scour the downslope soil, and undermined the roadbed. The guardrail was left hanging in the air.<\/p>\n<p>Within 24 hours, GeoStabilization\u2019s engineers were at the site and developed a solution. The problem was found to be three-fold: the undermined road needed to be stabilized, the road width regained, and the clogged stormwater pipe replaced.<\/p>\n<p>The necessary environmental permitting for the water pipe replacement would delay the roadway\u2019s reopening if all phases were completed at the same time. Working in conjunction with Montana\u2019s Department of Transportation, the decision was made to stabilize and reconstruct the roadway as an initial phase to reopen the road to the traveling public as soon as possible. The more rigorous permitting requirements for the culvert improvements, while important for the long-term performance of the road, were separated into a second phase that will be completed before the end of the construction season.<\/p>\n<p>GeoStabilization\u2019s crew was onsite immediately after contract receipt. Three weeks after the initial phone call, the road was partially reopened to traffic and then completed within 45 days of the initial failure. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geostabilization.com\/ca\/why-gsi\/company\/our-team\/\">Brett Gustafson<\/a>, GeoStabilization\u2019s project manager, and lifetime Montana resident, received a handwritten note (below), from Montana Governor Steve Bullock, expressing his appreciation for the team\u2019s efforts.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_3602\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3602\" style=\"width: 249px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geostabilization.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/12\/Montana-Repair-Efforts-3-300x225-1.jpg\" alt=\"After Road Repair\" width=\"249\" height=\"187\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3602\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>After Road Repair<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_3601\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3601\" style=\"width: 189px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3601\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geostabilization.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/12\/Montana-Repair-Efforts-1R1.jpg\" alt=\"before road repair\" width=\"189\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.geostabilization.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/12\/Montana-Repair-Efforts-1R1.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.geostabilization.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/12\/Montana-Repair-Efforts-1R1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 189px) 100vw, 189px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3601\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>Before Road Repair<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 33.3333%;\">\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_3603\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3603\" style=\"width: 254px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3603\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geostabilization.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/12\/Montana-Repair-Efforts-2-300x225-1.jpg\" alt=\"After Road Repair\" width=\"254\" height=\"190\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3603\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>After Road Repair<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\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>On April 29, 2018, heavy rains washed out a portion of Blue Slide Road, west of Thompson Falls, Montana, forcing its closure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3601,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","tags":[],"news-category":[],"class_list":["post-3599","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
