Brookdale Avenue Retaining Wall

Posted on April 28, 2016


Project Description: Brookdale Avenue is a one-way loop off of Lincoln Avenue and adjacent to the Irwin Creek to the north.  The area next to the roadway has experienced erosion due to the close proximity of Irwin Creek as it meanders downstream.  The creek bank erosion has caused instability in the original stacked rock retaining wall that is holding up a portion of Brookdale Avenue, and is causing the roadway to subside.  In order to support the roadway and allow access to properties a Cast-in–Drilled Hole (CIDH) retaining wall system is recommended for installation adjacent to the roadway.  This type of repair includes the installation of closely spaced piles with a concrete cap.

Construction contract awarded to: Valentine Corporation.

Project Status: Complete.
