Project Partners: BGC Engineering, Simpcw First Nation, TransMountain, CN Rail, Polster Environmental Services
Project Details
- Using soil bioengineering solution, over 18,000 live stakes of Populus Balsamifera planted for slope stabilization above railway in Fall of 2019
- 2500 m2 of land stabilized to protect transportation and resource service corridor from geotechnical failure
- High density formation at 7.2 stakes per m2
- Successful habitat stabilization through local, early successional native vegetative outplanting
- Mitigated sediment transport rate through adaptive, site specific techniques, stabilizing failing headscarp
