Project Description:
This project consisted of repairing the entrance road into Lock
and Dam 5 near Minnesota City, MN. The existing curb and
gutter, sidewalk and bituminous surfaces were removed.
Aggregate base, various soils and debris (from previous repairs
of sink holes) were excavated to a depth of 22 feet. New
sheet piling was installed behind the Evergreen Wall. A
combination of PVC and RCP piping was installed to create an
extensive drainage system to reduce potential detrimental forces
of nature being applied against the structural retaining wall
system. Portions of the existing stormwater system were
repaired and/or replaced. New sub-grade and aggregate base
were installed and compacted. New curb, gutter and
sidewalks were installed. New asphalt driving surface and
new traffic markings were completed.
