Scope Of Work
Application: The Village has been working on a plan to restore Lake Belle View for more than 30 years. Sedimentation and agricultural contamination caused the 94-acre lake to slowly silt up to an average depth of less than two feet. To begin the restoration, the project planners needed to construct a 3,200 foot-long berm and pedestrian path to separate the lake from the nearby Sugar River.
The Challenge: The berm had to be constructed on a portion of the lakebed, which consisted of soft soil sediments. The engineer, Montgomery Associates, determined that building on top of the existing grade offered the simplest and most cost-effective solution. For this approach, the engineer decided to incorporate a mechanically stabilized layer (MSL) utilizing Tensar® TriAx® Geogrid at the base of the berm structure. The MSL created an unyielding and stable platform for constructing the berm embankment.
