In the project, Schnabel installed 32 permanent concrete anchors.

Secant Piles

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) contracted with Schnabel to design and install a permanent secant pile water cutoff wall to address stability and erosion issues affecting the Panbowl Lake Dam due to severe flooding.
