Pdf Summary

The Floyd Hill rock slope was monitored beginning in 2016 in collaboration with the Colorado School of Mines. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) was conducted from four locations, spaced approximately 200 feet apart and about 160 feet from the slope’s base. Scans were collected one to two times per month, except between November 2016 and October 2017, and aligned to a 2016 baseline model through an automated two-step process. The monitoring program was originally intended to support research into slope degradation rates.<br /><br />During a routine verification of the automated change-detection process, a large area of positive change was identified. This prompted closer review of data collected from 2019 to 2022. On February 3, the Colorado School of Mines notified the project team of the movement by email and memorandum.<br /><br />The response involved considering whether to remove, stabilize, or protect the slope. Key project requirements included minimizing traffic impacts, carrying out construction at night, allowing a flexible design to accommodate uncertain field conditions, and completing construction within three to four weeks, subject to weather delays. Preliminary design was expected to be completed within two weeks.
