Beach Park Streambank & Bluff Stabilization

In Beach Park, IL, a 220-linear-foot streambank section of Bull Creek was eroding, causing the bluff slope to become unstable. In addition, an underground water seam presented an unknown site condition which influenced the design constructability of the lower section of the bluff. Our team tackled this challenge through a creative plan which made it possible to complete the project and achieve the design intention within budget. As part of the bank stabilization process, our self-performed construction contracting services touched on a wide range of specialties, including site grading, native seeding, tree clearing, stream restoration, and more. With these improvements, the creek now flows through Beach Park without worry.
