Rock Slope Stabilization — Mountain Highway

Rockfall mitigation and slope stabilization for a critical mountain transport corridor.

Overview

Assessment and remediation design for a rock cut slope above a major highway, including kinematic analysis, rock bolt and mesh systems, and catch ditch improvements.

Construction sequencing minimized lane closures while maintaining safety factors for winter freeze-thaw cycles.
