Concrete and Sheet Piling on Final Structure
The existing structure was removed and a new structure was created to allow water to be pumped both to the beds and away from the beds. Steel sheet piling was driven to prevent bank scour adjacent to the new structure.

Demolition of Existing and Excavation for New Structure.
Owner wanted a new structure in place of original for better water control operations. In order to demolish the existing structure and install the new one, a steel sheet piling cofferdam was installed to allow construction below groundwater. Heavy equipment was used for the demolition of the original structure.
Dewatering Capabilities
Staab has expertise in dealing with groundwater in all types of soils. At this location we utilized our wellpoint system along with steel sheet piling to draw the groundwater low enough to allow the installation of a new water control structure.
