CHALLENGE
As part of a City of Houston Parks jogging and bike path improvement project, retaining walls were required at new bridge structure to be constructed over the Buffalo Bayou drainage channel. These walls needed to provide structural support for the bridge, protect the bank of the bayou from erosion and fit with the natural surroundings of the park.

SOLUTION
Pinnacle Design/Build engineered and constructed a series of MSE vegetated slopes to support the bridge and protect the banks while blending naturally into the park surroundings.

VALUE
The Pinnacle Design/Build solution provided a surprisingly cost effective and green solution that satisfied city officials as well as park goers.
