Document Description
The project involves repair of a mechanically stabilized and reinforced earth wall (commonly referred to as the "Keystone" wall) and installation of tied-back grade beams. The Keystone wall at the outer edge of the parking lot is damaged and the east edge of the property has unstable slopes. Repair structures will be tied-back structural skin on the Keystone wall and tied-back grade beams for the slope reinforcement. The structural skin and grade beams will be constructed of reinforced concrete. The reinforced concrete structural skin over the existing Keystone retaining wall wil be anchored into the hillside using tieback anchors. Reinforcement of the slopes will be accomplished by tied-back grade beams. The grade beams will be near, and at, the surface, and the tie-backs will extend through the unstable ground and be anchored below and behind the unstable ground. The tied-back grade beams will be located on adjoining lands owned by Legacy Partners, Caltrans, MTDB, and another private landowner, over which the State of California has a right-of-way easement for highway purposes. The project will also require grading of slopes and off-hauling of some excavated soil. The locations of the repairs are shown in the plans approved by Caltrans and the City of San Diego, entitled "The Point - East Parking Area Stabilization."
