SLOPE STABILIZATION & ROAD RESTORATION
MUNICIPAL & COUNTY
Streambank erosion poses a significant threat to both the environment and infrastructure. When left unchecked, it can lead to the loss of land and property, damage to roads and bridges, and negative impacts water quality. Soil eroded from streambanks can also contribute to sediment pollution in waterways which impairs the habitat for aquatic life.
​
Addressing and resolving streambank erosion issues is of paramount importance. This is not only for the preservation and protection of our natural environment, which is essential for maintaining the planet’s biodiversity and ecological balance, but also for safeguarding our built environment, which includes our homes, roadways, and other infrastructure. At McMillen Engineering, we work with townships, municipalities, and counties to address streambank stabilization and road restoration to ensure a safe and healthier environment for our communities.
RIVER ROAD
McMillen Engineering worked with Perry Township on the stabilization of a failing gabion wall and road slope along River Road. Soil nails and steel mesh were utilized to provide custom, long term stabilization to the roadway and minimize erosion into the adjacent stream.
