CONSTRUCTION PROBLEM SOLVED WITH SOIL NAILING

A bridge abutment retaining wall construction problem in the city of Grandview, Missouri was solved with soil nailing, a cost-effective permanent or temporary retaining wall construction method that has seen significant development and increased use over the last 20 years.
