Project Synopsis
The Arcadia Apartment Homes in Centennial, Colorado, have encountered structural issues related to their two-tiered timber retaining walls. The failures primarily stem from the advanced age of the walls combined with inadequate drainage systems. The deteriorating state of the walls poses safety hazards to both the property and its residents, demanding urgent attention and rehabilitation measures.
Challenges
Spyder collaborated with structural and geotechnical specialists to assess soil conditions and propose suitable remedies. This involved the removal of 270 linear feet of wall, reshaping of the landscape, and the installation of a hollow block wall integrated with drainage outlets.
