There was erosion around the existing structure, opening dangerous holes in the lawn area and exposing water lines. |
|
 |
|
The first step was to construct a temporary access road. A temporary French-type drain was installed beneath this road to provide drainage until the installation of the permanent system. |
|
A silt curtain was installed to prevent release of turbidity into Skaneateles Lake.
Steel pilings are core drilled and grouted into the bedrock of the lakebed to support the steel sheet piling. |

 Setting steel sheet piling |
 Welding steel sheet piling to I-beam walers
|
 A large tree stump needed to be removed. |
 This was cut up and removed from the site.
|
 As the sheet piling is installed, the earth is excavated behind it and it is backfilled with stone to facilitate drainage. |
|
 Installing a deadman anchoring system to prevent the steel wall from "heeling over". |
 A deadman installed. |
 Detail of the deadman. |
 A double deadman.

| The work at this site was hampered by poor drainage of runoff water. We had to address these drainage issues as the work progressed. |
A slope was cut into the property to allow for the installation of pipe to drain the front and eves of the house. |
|
|
 Two concrete catch basins were installed, one on each side of the property, and the drainage pipe was connected. |
|
 The outflow pipe from the catch basins exits through the steel wall and drains to the lake.
|
We are now constructing a steel-framed, timber decked shoreline deck system and dock access. |
|
The work continues....
