Bedrock Bluff Stabilization

This 600-foot-long, 60-foot-tall project included the demolition of the buildings built into a bedrock bluff to provide a site ready for redevelopment. TKDA* engineered a robust wall system consisting of reinforced concrete or shotcrete with tiebacks. Additionally, our team provided evaluation, wall design, construction, and special inspections.

*Professional services for this project were provided by CNA Consulting Engineers, which was acquired by TKDA in 2025. CNA employees continue to work at TKDA, contributing their civil, structural, and geotechnical engineering experience. Learn more about the acquisition here.
