Document Description
The City of Fairfield in coordination with the City of Benicia proposes the Lopes
Road and Water Pipeline Reconstruction Emergency Project (project) to repair damage from a landslide during the March 2023 storm events. The project will restore the roadway and waterlines to the pre-landslide condition and also include a structural solution between the roadway and slide area. The structural solution will restrain the recent uphill slide from continuing to move, will add resiliency to resist future landslides in this area, and will significantly limit the amount of excavation required on the hill. Earthwork up the hillside will only be what is required to improve drainage and address localized concerns. The structural solution could consist of multiple options including soil mixing/ground improvements, deep piles, ground anchors, or a combination thereof. The exact details of the structural solution will be developed during the detailed engineering development process of the project.
