Flooding preparedness continues behind the wall.
Stormwater and groundwater that become trapped in retained soil can increase hydrostatic pressure against transportation structures. Accessible drainage gives owners a way to manage water while keeping the filtration component serviceable over time.
Heavy Precipitation
Design for periods when retained fill becomes saturated and drainage demand increases.
Freeze-Thaw Exposure
Illinois conditions make moisture management especially relevant to long-term wall performance.
Hard-to-Access Corridors
Front-face serviceability can reduce the need to excavate behind critical roadway structures.
Planning an Illinois transportation project?
Make maintainable drainage part of the conversation early, whether the structure is a retaining wall, bridge abutment, wingwall, culvert or underpass.
