Rail -- Landslide Mitigation work October 2015

Crews work to stabilize coastal bluff slopes below a home and above rail tracks below near Mukilteo. Soil nails are used to help hold the slope in place and shotcrete, sprayed on concrete, is then applied on top. Drainage also is often improved before the shotcrete is added. The work helps reduce the risk of landslides, which can block rail rails and disrupt train traffic. Visit the project page for more information: www.wsdot.wa.gov/Projects/Rail/slidemanagement/
