GeoDesign provided geotechnical engineering
and environmental consulting services
for several projects at their 900-acre
timber and paper products mill situated
adjacent to the Clearwater River. These
projects have included a mill-wide
numerical groundwater flow and contaminant
transport model for solving several
environmental protection challenges. GeoDesign
currently monitors performance of a
landslide stabilization system we designed. Extensive
hydrogeologic, geotechnical, and slope
stability analyses were performed for
the mill’s approximately 1,250-foot-long
and 2,500-foot-wide landslide that
has been stabilized by the groundwater
dewatering system.
