CR 38E Landslide prevention

This project, located on CR38E just West of CR 23, was undertaken to mitigate a landslide that was beginning to occur in the roadway fill. The County noticed cracking in the pavement and began to monitor the progression of movement. It was determined a deep seeded slip plane had developed and if left untreated a large portion of the roadway would slide towards the reservoir. The project consisted of 32 caissons or shafts drilled 25' into bedrock filled with concrete spaced at 6-foot intervals. These caissons effectively pin the roadway in place. By taking this approach we hope to have arrested the movement and saved the significant cost and inconvenience of repairing a catastrophic landslide.
