Unique Project Alert - Demolition - Decomposed Granite
Sarah Strader
Unique Project Alert!
- The project is unique for several reason. This property belongs to the City of Los Angeles
- It resides between 2 private residences. With all the rainfall the land was eroding and sliding into the property below.
What we did.... the long and the short of it.
We sunk poles into the ground, then we attached beams to the poles, and constructed tiers which scaling the hillside. We then compacted the dirt to the City's specifications.
We needed to add additional dirt to the hill side. Carrying 200 additional bags of decomposed granite weighing about 70lbs each, up the hillside (by hand and backpack harness).
All of the decomposed granite needed to be compacted, covered with and anti erosion net constructed from jute.
So now the property below is safe and sound.
-Stay Safe.
