| Abstract/Contents: | "Pinellas Park Water Management District (PPWMD), in an effort to provide improved drainage and flood control, has undertaken an accelerated construction program which includes innovative slope reinforcement designs where limited contruction access is evidenced. In 1993, PPWMD retained the environmental engineering consulting firm of Camp Dresser &McKee, Inc.(CDM) to develop alternatives for slope reinforcement on a project entitled the "Test Section." The purpse of the project was to determine the most cost effective and beneficial design, and establish a standard design for future projects within PPWMD's jurisdiction with limited construction access. The "Test Section" was completed prior to the summer rainy season of 1993, and included six alternatives for slope reinforcement. The project was constructed with gages that could detect slope movement and provide for field measurement in both vertical and horizontal directions. The effectiveness of several alternative designs was realized after the 1993 rainy season. A post construction analysis conducted by CDM summarized the project and provided recommended solutions and conclusions. These recommendations are currently being incorporated in the designs of several projects that will be constructed in 1996 and 1997. The PPWMD has adopted these designs for future projects with steep slopes and limited construction access, and will continue to use the results of the "Test Section" project ad post-construction analysis for future projects in their Capital Improvements Program." |
