Movax Sonic Vibratory Pile Driver Solves Dense Soil and Steep Slope Access
Taylor, BC
June 2016

Our client, the District of Taylor, reached out to us when they noticed that the soil around their water supply tanks was eroding, posing a danger of site collapse due to the nearby slope. To address this issue, we proposed Sheet Pile Slope Restoration as the solution.

The Challenge

The site presented several obstacles. Mainly, the soil was very dense and unreceptive to many popular piling methods. In addition to this, the steep slope meant that the site had a very narrow access point.

The Solution

We were able to bypass the limited site access by using our Movax Sonic Vibratory Pile Driver. The vibratory head reduces the amount of equipment required for installation to a single vehicle. Our experience and cooperative approach allowed us to create a strong 68m long sheet-pile wall efficiently and with minimal site disturbance.

The Outcome

TerraCana delivered a strong 68m sheet-pile wall efficiently and with minimal site disturbance, eliminating the danger of site collapse for the District of Taylor.
