Lake Forest Erosion Control

Rockwall
Texas

Homes and other private improvements located along an abrupt bend in an unnamed stream were being threatened by the outward migration of the channel. Walter P Moore provided civil engineering services to repair the eroding bank of the stream behind Lake Forest Drive.

Walter P Moore prepared a design that consists of an anchored big-block retaining wall system to armor the eroding area. Rock anchor tiebacks utilize underlying shale at the site for lateral load resistance. Walter P Moore also provided a hydraulic study to insure that the design does not cause a rise in the water surface elevations for multiple design storms.
