Geo-Congress is the annual meeting of the Geo-Institute - sort of a geotechnical family reunion. Every year in February or March, our community gathers for amazing keynotes, great technical talks, the biggest geotechnical exhibit hall in North America, and a lot of fun! To prepare for the 2024 conference in Vancouver, we bring you a series of live streams featuring case histories from the Pacific Northwest! Our fourth in the series will be presented Thursday, January 18, at 2pm ET. Rod Kostaschuk of BGC Engineering will present on the Ten Mile Slide. The presentation will summarize the design and construction of slope stabilization at Ten Mile Slide undertaken by the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (Ministry) on Highway 99, which was successfully completed in Faltained portion of Ten Mile Slide is 200 m wide at the highway and is 300 m long with an estimated volume of 1,000,000 m3 of soil material. The stabilization solution included 279 soil anchors installed above the highway, a tied-back tangent pile wall (148 large diameter drilled shafts with 96 tie-back soil anchors) below the highway and reconstruction of the highway grade and drainage. Rod Kostaschuk, M.Eng., is a Principal Geotechnical Engineer with BGC Engineering Inc. based in Kelowna, BC. He has over 35 years experience in geotechnical engineering with project work in foundation engineering, hydrogeology, slope stability and numerical modelling for transportation and resource sector projects including highways and railways, oil and gas, mining, water supply and hydroelectric dams and infrastructure, largely within BC and Alberta. Recent experience includes a focus on slope support and stabilization using structural elements and other earthworks, drainage and ground improvement measures. The Geo-Institute is a technical society with about 12,000 geotechnical engineers and geologists as members.
