Riprap and Drainage Improvement Project – Sturgeon County

Riprap and Drainage Improvement and Infrastructure Protection on Range Road 263A

Hi-Tower was contracted to address significant erosion and drainage issues along Range Road 263A near Meadowview in Sturgeon County, ensuring long-term stability and effective water management. This project required gas line relocation, swale construction, and riprap reinforcement to prevent further infrastructure damage. Our team worked closely with stakeholders to develop a customized solution that would enhance roadway integrity, prevent erosion, and improve overall drainage performance.

Project Scope & Solutions

○ Erosion & Drainage Mitigation: Implemented advanced water flow management solutions to control runoff and prevent road washouts.

○ Gas Line Relocation: Coordinated with utility providers to safely relocate an existing gas line, ensuring compliance with safety regulations while allowing for improved drainage.

○ Swale Construction: Designed and built a custom drainage swale to efficiently redirect water away from the roadway, reducing the risk of surface degradation.

○ Riprap Armouring: Installed 380 tonnes of limestone riprap to reinforce embankments, ensuring long-term erosion resistance. Carefully placed materials to maximize stability and prevent sediment displacement during heavy rainfall.
