Power & Industrial Case Studies
Red Rock Hydroelectric Facility | Pella, IA
Schnabel was the Tieback Anchor Contractor for this award-winning project and installed 153 post-tensioned tieback rock anchors up to 173 ft long. The tieback anchors helped support a large 60-foot-tall temporary secant pile wall that was positioned above a 40-foot tall rock cut to allow for the construction of a new powerhouse on the existing flood control dam.
Monserate Substation | Fallbrook, CA
San Diego Gas & Electric contracted Schnabel for the design and construction of a permanent soil nail wall featuring a sculpted and colored shotcrete facing. The excavation process in weathered rock was executed in 10-foot increments, creating a bench wide enough for the installation of the initial rows of rock nails.
