National Park Service Engineering Case Study

Problem

The Cleetwood trail and bulkhead facilities at Crater Lake National Park faced significant geotechnical and geohazard challenges, necessitating stabilization and repair. An initial scoping trip revealed the need for additional surveys, data collection, and the development of alternatives to ensure the stability and safety of these critical infrastructures.

The initial scoping trip identified the need for:

• • Additional surveys
  • Information and data collection
  • Development of alternatives for stabilization and repair
  • Accurate cost estimates for planning and implementation

Solution

HECO Engineers, in collaboration with Golder Associates, took decisive action to address these challenges. We conducted a thorough geotechnical and geohazard assessment, performed topographic surveys, and managed the overall program with careful oversight of sub-consultants.

The efforts culminated in a comprehensive report outlining the necessary actions for stabilization and repair.

• • Conducted a detailed geotechnical and geohazard assessment
  • Gathered necessary data through topographic surveys and condition assessments
  • Managed the program and provided oversight for sub-consultants
  • Developed a comprehensive report recommending further actions for stabilization and repair

Results

The project achieved substantial progress in planning and implementing the needed repairs at Cleetwood Cove. The engineering team at HECO gathered essential data, provided accurate cost estimates, and facilitated an understanding of site conditions.

Our work laid a solid foundation for ensuring the long-term stability and safety of the trail and bulkhead facilities for Crater Lake visitors

• • Collected essential data for project development
  • Provided Class C level cost estimates
  • Facilitated the planning and implementation of repairs
  • Ensured a thorough understanding of the site conditions and necessary actions
