Scope Of Work
The project consist of stabilizing the channel banks along Willow Fork of Buffalo Bayou. The channel has multiple slope failures along their length. The banks became saturated as result of high water from Hurricane Harvey and failed when the water receded.
Sheet piling will be driven at the base of the channel slopes and extend above the channel bottom to a height that will allow for a stable slope above the wall. The completed slopes will be vegetated above the walls. Soil disturbing activities will include: constructing the access road; clearing and grubbing; excavation of sediment; grading and shaping the channel banks; and vegetating the disturbed areas.
