The SEDA-COG group received funding to rebuild the old \nstream banks that were a conglomeration of old failing walls of various \ntypes that no longer protected the homes, businesses and utilities from \npotential water erosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ELA Group was very familiar with the capabilities of the \nMaxumStone system having done a design for a stream project before. \nThey preferred to use the large wet-cast MaxumStone system where the \npotential of severe seasonal storms could cause scouring from large \nvolumes of water rushing down the stream bed. Two full courses were \nembedded as required by the scour design analysis and the entire \nreinforced geogrid zone was backfilled using #57 stone facilitating the \npotential rapid draw down in flood conditions. The job started under \nvery difficult construction conditions with melting snow inundating the \nsite in February of 2011. Double-sided blocks were utilized for the top \ncourse as a barrier\/parapet and the fence was mounted directly in the \nconcrete filled large hollow cores of the top blocks. The walls have \nperformed perfectly, surviving a tropical storm in the fall of 2011 \nwhich dumped over 15 inches of rain over a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
