Emergency Repair of Massive Road Slippage in Partnership with Caltrans
When a huge storm hit the small rural town of Woodside, the soaked hillsides caused a massive road slippage, making Highway 84 impassable. Caltrans turned to our team for emergency repair of the road and surrounding hillsides.
“When Caltrans called on our team to repair a massive road slippage on the main access road to Woodside, we jumped into action. The Caltrans team knows they can count on us to coordinate closely with them and focus on getting the job done safely.”
