Rehabilitation
Project
September 3, 2024
BACKGROUND
• 114 ft of a 10ft high retaining and screen combo wall is leaning towards the sidewalk
• Leaning of block wall most likely caused by large palm trees that used to be there, insufficient draining behind the wall, and an under-designed structural footing
• The wall is located at the intersection of Bushard St. and Gateshead Dr.
• 3 private properties are affected
• Project opened bids publicly on August 8, 2024
• 74 ft of the 114 ft block wall needs to be reconstructed • The remaining 40 ft will be stabilized by constructing structural pilasters on both ends
• New footing will be constructed
• Wall drainage will be installed behind the wall to prevent excess water build-up • Rehabilitation of the wall will fix the problem and prevent the condition from worsening
