Cal Poly Landslide Stabilization

Location:

San Luis Obispo, CA

Client:

Core Construction and River City Construction

Background

In 2017, heavy rains triggered a landslide that impacted the Fremont Dorm at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, forcing evacuation. The university sought a permanent stabilization solution.

Schnabel’s Solution

Partnering with Yeh & Associates and Cannon Engineering, Schnabel designed and built an earth retention system. The design included soldier pile walls, waler galleries, and 29,000 LF of tiebacks anchored into bedrock. Schnabel also served as general contractor, self-performing gallery wale construction and tieback drilling.

Results

The project successfully stabilized the landslide, allowing the university to safely move forward with future use of the dorm facility.
