2015 Muskingum River Bank & Road Stabilization - Muskingum Township, Washington County
General
Problem Description
Muskingum Township in Washington County requested financial assistance to stabilize a severely eroded river bank to protect a township road. The project proposes to stabilize the river bank and road by injecting high density expanding structural polymer resin. The resin hardens the soil to stabilize the bank and increase the resistance of erosive forces.
Solution Description
The project proposes a newer technology in stabilizing a river bank. The stabilized bank will protect the township road, which requires continual maintenance and rehabilitation. By reducing erosion and sedimentation, this project will positively affect water quality for the Muskingum River. Additionally, the project will protect health and safety and reduce future property damage.
