Abstract:
The RM Clayton Water Reclamation Center entailed construction of a 40 foot below grade structure adjacent to the existing head works at the City of Atlanta’s largest wastewater treatment plant. The project required multiple support of excavation and underpinning systems to achieve the required excavation depth and maintain operation of the existing headworks. As construction developed, problematic rock conditions were encountered requiring rock bolting to maintain stability of a 90 foot high compound soil slope and rock excavation.
