Kimball Ditch Stabilization
The project was necessary to provide long term erosion control on an existing streambank. The project was constructed using staff and equipment of the Sanitary District of Michigan City, including the installation of 20-inch biodegradable coir logs and vegetation. The project included protection of downstream project limits with geoweb infilled with stone. The area behind the coir log was reshaped to a uniform slope and stabilized with vegetation and reinforcement mat.
McCormick Engineering, LLC prepared the suggested solution for the project based on field observations of the eroding bank. Our staff completed a topographic survey of the property and prepared construction plans. We coordinated with the Owner and material suppliers to ensure availability on the established date of construction. McCormick Engineering, LLC obtained a 401 Water Quality Certification from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and a Section 404 Permit from the United States Army Corp of Engineers. We provided onsite support throughout the two days of construction.
