Conventional T-WALL Inverted T-WALL


VISIT US

Inverted T-WALL is a concept in which the shortest possible T-WALL


units are placed at the bottom of the retaining wall structure and
successively longer units are stacked on top. This new Inverted
T-WALL structure offers significant advantages for highway and rail,
including reduced excavation and shoring.

Solutions for Highway John Carey Announces


His Retirement
• Add Lanes
• Keep Traffic Moving
• Less Granular Fill
• Less Excavation
• Reduce/Eliminate Shoring
• Less Material Hauling
• Maintain Tight R-O-Ws

With reduced or eliminated


excavation, Inverted T-WALL
allows for lane additions/highway expansion without the closure of
existing lanes. Inverted T-WALL can be constructed within its own
footprint – optimal for tight areas.

The first Inverted T-WALL project, Task 5 Kelso to Martins Bluff, was
completed in early 2017. Over 64,000 SF of standard and Inverted
T-WALL were installed to support the new track.

Task 5 was constructed as part of the BNSF/WS DOT third track ini-
tiative between Kelso and Longview Junction. The entire initiative Point Defiance - Sound Transit
included 3.7 miles of mainline track in order to separate freight and Tacoma, WA
passenger rail traffic and relieve choke points. T-WALL was utilized
on the Task 4, 5, and 6 portions of the project.

Existing tracks remained open during construction, as Inverted


T-WALL significantly reduced encroachment on the A Zone. Because
both Inverted T-WALL and conventional T-WALL can be constructed
within their own footprint, BNSF was able to build the additional
track within the existing tight right-of-way—an area flanked by ac-
tive tracks and wetlands.
