Provo Canyon
City: Provo Canyon
State: UT
Owner: Utah Department of Transportation
General Contractor: Ames Construction
Project Description:
To stabilize a potential landslide, which could be triggered by a cut for the new roadway alignment, Schnabel Foundation Company installed 208 encapsulated 14-strand anchors in the sidehill cut. The anchors have a design load of 400 kips and an average installed length of 160 feet in order to make capacity behind the failure plain.
In addition to the landslide anchors, Schnabel installed over 250,000 linear feet of soil and rock nails for cut rataining walls in the canyon.
