PROJECT DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
High water levels in early 2017 damaged levees throughout California. The Corps of Engineers will be repairing damages at several of these locations in 2018. One of these sites is located near Martinez, CA. The types of services that may be required to perform the repairs required at this site are described below.
DESCRIPTION
One of the following methods will likely be employed to repair the damaged levee in System 1394.
Levee Slope Repair -- Repairing levee slope failures typically requires degrading a portion of the levee to remove slumped material and expose an appropriate repair surface, proper disposal of excavated material, importing replacement soil with appropriate geotechnical properties, and properly placing/compacting the new soil to restore the levee to its prior configuration. In some cases, the repair may be constructed with rock in addition to soil. It may be necessary to obtain and place geotextile and rock at the base of the excavation before placing the new soil/rock. Repair of slope failures on the waterside of the levee may require installing a coffer dam. When repairs are complete soil areas will be reseeded, any damage to haul routes will be repaired, and the surface material of the levee crown will be reestablished, if needed. Levee slope repairs would likely be completed from the land at this location.
If this method is employed, the length of the repair will be approximately 100 feet. The repair will likely consist of rock partially overlain by soil. The estimated volume of rock/soil required is 500 cubic yards. The rock may installed in two or more phases separated by several weeks.
Sheet Pile Installation -- Sheet pile walls may be installed to address levee stability concerns. Sheet pile walls may be placed through different portions of the levee and to varying depths depending on their purpose. It may be necessary to partially degrade the levee before installing the sheet piles. In these cases the degraded levee must be restored after the sheet piles are installed. Sheet pile installation requires specialized equipment to drive the interlocking piles to the required depth. When repairs are complete portions the site may be reseeded, any damage to haul routes will be repaired, and the surface material of the levee crown will be reestablished, where necessary. Sheet pile wall installation would likely be completed from the land at this location.
If sheet piles are employed, the length of the installation will be approximately 100 feet. The depth of installation has not been determined at this time, but is unlikely to exceed 50 feet.
