Road Work - Shotcrete and Soil Nail Embankment Stabilisation

Hi All,

RIX were called by our client to remediate this batter which had recently failed North of Sydney.
The slip was remediated with a Soil Nail Shotcrete Batter.
The works required removal of vegetation and loose rock(scaling). RIX drilling plant then drilled 125mm holes into the strata for 40 Soil Nails @ 5m x 20mm, 50mm diameter holes were also drilled into the rock shelf for 30 rockbolts @ 6m x 25mm diameter. 350m2 of shotcrete was also placed coloured to match the existing weathered rock.
Being a major road our Client asked the batter works be completed in 3 weeks...RIX were able to meet this deadline our Client is delighted with the works.
