In May, a retaining wall that ran from Little Beaver Trail to a Walgreens store failed after a water main rupture, sending debris into the street, closing the road for several months. Specialty geotechnical contractor Hayward Baker is almost finished installing temporary stabilization measures so the remaining temporary fix can be constructed to reopen the road. The fix involves using 6 20-ft long shipping containers to buttress the slope and filling them with the excavated debris. A drainage system behind the containers will help prevent buildup of water pressure. A permanent fix won’t start design until the spring. [Source: SummitDaily.com. Image: SummitDaily.com / Mark Fox]
