The Highland Valley stream embankment experienced increased erosion as a result of both normal flow and other increased runoff events. In response, PVEDI provided Civil Engineering services to restore the embankment. We conducted a detailed site analysis, removal of debris, and installed control features designed to minimize the damage caused by natural processes. These features included permanent, Pyramat linings, R-7 Rip-Rap, and coir logs. Multiple post-site visits – including two post-storm visits -were conducted to determine the success of the augmented landscape and to determine if any follow-up work was necessary to alleviate the problem.
