GeoStabilization International®’s Post

When slide and #rockfall mitigation measures along a roadway deteriorated, posing an immediate danger to the public due to failing draped mesh and sloughing riprap slopes causing rockfall onto the roadway. The State DOT urgently requested GSI to design and construct a stabilization system. This solution included a 70-foot wide by 90-foot long pinned mesh system and a 210-foot long draped mesh stabilization system. We used Hollow-bar anchors for the pinned #mesh section to navigate the up to 15-foot thick surficial riprap economically and feasibly. The team implemented measures to maintain the service design life of the anchors, considering the moderately corrosive site conditions. This emergency effort ensured the safety of the traveling public and restored stability to this critical stretch of roadway.

There is so much more to this technology than what meets the untrained eye. Congratulations.
