Project Partners: BGC Engineering, Simpcw First Nation, TransMountain, CN Rail, Polster Environmental Services

Project Details

  • Using soil bioengineering solution, over 18,000 live stakes of Populus Balsamifera planted for slope stabilization above railway in Fall of 2019
  • 2500 m2 of land stabilized to protect transportation and resource service corridor from geotechnical failure
  • High density formation at 7.2 stakes per m2
  • Successful habitat stabilization through local, early successional native vegetative outplanting
  • Mitigated sediment transport rate through adaptive, site specific techniques, stabilizing failing headscarp
