Rockfall Mitigation in Wyoming Expertise

Wyoming's US-14/16/20 Bighorn Mountains, I-80 Sherman Hill, WY-22 Teton Pass, Wind River Canyon corridors present significant rockfall mitigation challenges driven by the region's unique geologic and climatic conditions. GeoStabilization International deploys rock bolts, draped mesh, and attenuator barriers across Wyoming's highest-priority corridors. With 8,000+ completed geohazard projects and 700+ specialists, every Wyoming project benefits from unmatched field data and proprietary technology.

Our design/build model means one team owns the engineering analysis, construction execution, and performance warranty—eliminating the coordination gaps that inflate costs and extend timelines on traditional procurement.

Rockfall Mitigation Challenges Across Wyoming

Wyoming's US-14/16/20 Bighorn Mountains, I-80 Sherman Hill, WY-22 Teton Pass, Wind River Canyon present rockfall mitigation conditions that demand engineered solutions. The region's unique geology, climate patterns, and infrastructure density create hazard scenarios requiring specialized expertise that general contractors cannot provide. GeoStabilization International has engineered solutions across these corridors using rock bolts, draped mesh, and proprietary technology developed through 8,000+ completed geohazard projects.

How GeoStabilization International Addresses Wyoming Rockfall

Our engineering team analyzes each site's specific conditions—geology, hydrology, loading demands, and failure mechanisms—to design a solution precisely matched to the hazard. For Wyoming's US-14/16/20 Bighorn Mountains corridor, our approach combines in-house geotechnical engineering with field construction under one design/build contract. This integrated delivery eliminates the coordination gaps, change orders, and schedule overruns that traditional design-bid-build procurement creates.

Emergency Response Capability

When a geohazard event strikes Wyoming's infrastructure, GeoStabilization International maintains 24/7 emergency mobilization with pre-staged equipment and regional crews. Our team deploys within hours—not the weeks that traditional contractors require. One call activates an integrated response: engineering assessment, solution design, and construction execution under one contract. Every Wyoming project is backed by FHWA-compliant engineering designs produced by our in-house geotechnical engineers and professional geologists.

Wyoming Rockfall Protection Process

GeoStabilization International delivers rockfall mitigation across Wyoming's corridors through an integrated five-step process.

Step 1

Rock Mass Assessment

Geologists evaluate formation characteristics, discontinuity patterns, and weathering profiles along Wyoming's highway corridors.

Step 2

Trajectory Simulation

3D rockfall models calculate block trajectories, bounce heights, and impact energies driving protection system specification.

Step 3

System Design

In-house engineers specify bolt patterns, mesh systems, or barrier configurations matched to site-specific rock mass demands.

Step 4

Rope Access Installation

RRTs and specialized equipment install protection directly on rock faces—highways remain open during construction.

Warranty

As-built records, anchor testing, and warranty coverage delivered to project specifications.

Why Wyoming Chooses GeoStabilization International

Wyoming's infrastructure operators face a choice: hire a general contractor who subcontracts the engineering and rents the equipment, or hire the only geohazard firm that owns the technology, employs the engineers, and warranties the performance. GeoStabilization International has completed more geohazard projects than any firm in North America—8,000+ and counting. Our patented Soil Nail Launcher™ fleet, 700+ dedicated specialists, and in-house engineering team deliver rockfall mitigation solutions that compress timelines, reduce costs, and come backed by a design/build/warranty commitment no competitor can match.

Emergency Landslide Repair in Wyoming

In 2017, another well above normal snowpack winter and heavy spring rains resulted in 23 new landslides, which damaged or threatened WYDOT roads. WYDOT turned to GSI to help respond to these emergency situations. GSI was able to respond very quickly and in most cases had personnel on site to assess the site within 24 hours. They would provide a proposal for remediation with a preliminary design and estimated costs within 48 hours in most cases. During 2017, GSI was selected to perform remediation with contracts at six separate sites. In all cases, they were prepared to mobilize to the sites and begin work within a week of being given notice to proceed.

A unique element of these emergency contracts was a partnership, between WYDOT and GSI, by which WYDOT provided some logistical support such as traffic control and providing water for drilling operations so that GSI could focus its efforts on performing the specialty work. This arrangement resulted in cost effective, efficient, successful projects. When responding to emergency landslide repair, time truly is money, the sooner a landslide can be remediated before it has a chance to grow, the less expensive it is to repair. In the past, WYDOT has experienced situations in which, landslides could possibly have been remediated quicker, experienced further failure during drawn out conventional design and contracting methods resulting in higher costs due to the additional failure. GSI uses various types of innovative geo-technology in their landslide remediation projects….

All of these projects were completed on schedule, even with cold weather conditions and snow storms ….

All of the stabilization projects that GSI completed for WYDOT included a warranty to repair any of the remediation that would happen to fail, but to date none of the work that they have performed has required any repair. I would highly recommend GeoStabilization International to perform emergency landslide and slope remediation work. They have the resources, personnel, and expertise to respond to your emergency in a timely, professional manner.
