Earthwork Construction

Movement of dirt on civil construction projects is used to construct dikes, dams, levees, detention ponds, reservoirs, relocation, consolidation, site balance, and slope stability. Compacted clay, HDPE liners, geotextiles, geocomposites, fills, soil, and vegetative covers can be incorporated into these structures.
Earthwork Construction

To protect a nearby town and the surrounding areas from seasonal high water from a 15-foot high earthen embankment, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) contracted to relocate parts of the existing levee, raise the top of the levee, add a flared toe, and install an impermeable slurry wall.

Project Features
  • Installing a 14,000-foot long slurry wall along the middle of the levee to cutoff potential groundwater flow and seepage
  • Excavating the trench to an average depth of 39 feet
  • Complying with strict USACE slurry trench quality control measures.
