Stabilization

  • 1 Angle pipes provide additional thickness and stability
  • 2 Finished tunnel installed in railroad embankment
  • 2 Groundwater cutoff and shoring wall protecting fragile footings of industrial facility
  • 1 Horizontal shoring cell during tunnel installation below active rail line
  • 2 Stabilization of historic building footings during excavation of adjacent property
  • 2 Stabilization of soft soils and organics for non-invasive wetlands access
  • 2 View of exposed frozen-soil stabilization wall
The flexibility and mobility of the SoilFreeze system has enabled us to successfully stabilize soils at a wide variety of project sites. We supported the footings of a historic hillside residence in Portland, Oregon; protected valuable home sites from flooding and erosion along a stretch of the Bid Wood River near Sun Valley, Idaho; and prevented the disturbance of a track bed for a busy freight-rail line during installation of a large-diameter tunnel in The Dalles, Oregon. The SoilFreeze stabilization walls had more than sufficient strength to prevent a third landslide from occurring in Portland, to protect the Idaho homeowners from losing priceless riverfront land, and to give the watchful officials of the Union Pacific Railroad a project that produced no measurable vibration and absolutely no “heave” along the track bed.

Efficient and cost effective temporary roads and work platforms can be constructed with freeze technology. Most commonly used for access through wetlands and unstable soils, we can install a very durable and completely temporary road bed for the installation of bridge footings, pump stations, or mine equipment access.
