Addressing Instability with Slope Stabilization in Sturgeon County
Hi-Tower was contracted in 2022-2023 to execute a crucial slope stabilization project in Pinnacle Ridge, a high-end residential community in Sturgeon County. The slope was composed of highly silty material, making it prone to severe erosion from water runoff, which threatened the integrity of nearby properties. Our team implemented advanced geotechnical and drainage solutions to stabilize the area and prevent further degradation.
Project Scope & Engineering Solutions○ Geotechnical Challenges: While the slope was vegetated, its silty composition made it vulnerable to water erosion, leading to instability. ○ Deep Foundation Reinforcement: 40-foot sheet piles were installed to reinforce the compromised slope. ○ Shoring Wall Construction: A structural retaining system was built to prevent soil movement and provide long-term stability. ○ Drainage Management: Custom-designed drainage traps were placed at the top of the slope, incorporating low riprap protection to mitigate water impact. ○ Directional Drilling for Drainage: Advanced directional drilling was used to create an efficient drainage chute and catch basin, effectively redirecting water away from the slope. ○ Eco-Friendly Restoration: The slope was hydro-seeded to promote revegetation and erosion control, ensuring a natural, sustainable recovery. |
Sustainable Engineering for Long-Term Slope Stabilization
This project not only secured the structural integrity of Pinnacle Ridge but also demonstrated Hi-Tower’s expertise in geotechnical engineering and water management. By integrating specialized soil stabilization techniques with advanced drainage solutions, we delivered a sustainable, long-term solution for erosion-prone landscapes.
Collaborative Planning and Execution
Hi-Tower worked closely with engineers, municipal authorities, and local stakeholders to ensure the project met both technical and community expectations. Careful coordination allowed us to minimize disruption to residents while maintaining strict timelines and safety standards. The result was a reinforced, environmentally responsible slope that blends seamlessly into the surrounding residential landscape.
