Chicken Curve Landslip Repair Progress (GWSR) 30th April 2012







Chicken Curve Landslip Repair Progress


Work continues to progress well on the site. The new S&T cable has been dug in and buried. All toe berms are now complete and all digging out of the bank is now complete along with all the piling. Currently stone infill is being rolled in and the slip area brought back up to the profile of the original bank. Due to a slight design change the soil nailing cannot commence until the slip area has been rebuilt, however this should be very soon now. Work is still on schedule to be completed by early June. All that remains to be done is completing the slip rebuild, installing the soil nails, finishing off the drainage under the road on the malvern side and then hydra-seeding the berms and bare areas of embankment and tidying up the site and fencing.

Once soil nailing is under way I will provide some more photographs. (Neil Carr)
