SLOPE STABILIZATION SERVICES
Fight back against erosion.
What Is Slope Stabilization?
WHY IT WORKS
Benefits of Slope Stabilization
- Lower the chance of erosion.
- Install quickly using our cutting-edge slope stabilization equipment.
- Allow for a greater weight load for slopes across the U.S.
- Promote proper drainage.

Different Slope Stabilization Methods
Driven Cantilever Piling
Typically, these elements are driven along the top of the problematic slope. They usually consist of H-piles installed vertically or on a battered inclination to serve as “shear pins” through the failure surface of the slide mass. If an additional shoulder is required, lagging can be installed within the upper few feet to help hold this material in place.
Drilled and Socketed Piling
This system is very similar to driven piling except that the piling is inserted into a drilled hole through the soil and preferably into bedrock. The depth of the socket into the bedrock depends on the rock quality, pile size, pile type, and slide mass driving force. Once installed, the remaining drill hole is filled with grout.
Soldier Pile With Tie-Back Anchors
Repairs of this type are often required when the size of the slide mass is large or when a relatively high factor of safety is warranted. This consists of a row of piling (driven or drilled) with lagging (timber, concrete, or steel) and typically includes a waler installed along the down-slope face. Tie-back anchors (tendons or bars) are then drilled within the bays of the wall (between piling) and drilled into competent rock. The anchor depth or length is a function of the required “bond” length.

What Is Rockfall Mitigation?
Rockfall mitigation is taking the precautions needed to prevent rock and other types of loose material from falling off of slopes and onto transportation (roads, highways, and walkways). To mitigate rockfall, LRL Construction scales down and removes any rock that could create a safety hazard.
We utilize crane-hoisted man baskets to get a close look at the rock and then crane-supported drills to install an array of rock bolts. Galvanized steel mesh is attached to the bolts in some areas to retain smaller surface rocks.
HOW IT WORKS
Benefits of Rockfall Mitigation
- Access hard-to-reach slopes and other areas with loose rock materials.
- Decrease the chance of injury from unstable rocks.
- Lower the amount of debris on major transportation routes, which could pose a safety hazard.
THE STEPS
Rockfall Mitigation Process
The first thing we’ll do is evaluate the slope from below to assess safety hazards. An example is large rocks coming down onto the railroad track. We’ll then determine how to protect the tracks, road, and walking trails from any falling rocks. Next, we’ll lay out mats to take the brunt of the falling debris. Finally, we’ll work our way down the slope or scale off-rope to remove large rocks. If it’s a larger rock that’s not accessible by hand, we have the equipment to take care of that from the ground surface.
