Slope Stabilization

Slope instability threatens structures both at the toe of the slope and at the top. Anchored reaction block stabilization system resists movement of retained slope soils. Gabions stabilize slopes against erosion. Micropile Slide Stabilization System (MS³) resists sliding forces within slopes. Soil anchors and soil nails reinforced slope soils for stability. Hayward Baker has experience with the full range of slope stabilization techniques to stabilize slopes.

Construction of a trucking facility required cutting into a ridge of glacial drift, and a permanent earth retention system would be necessary to stabilize the cut slope. Hayward Baker was asked for a Value Engineering alternative to a costly anchored sheet pile wall. HB’s design utilized anchored reaction blocks at three elevations.
