Erie Canal Embankment Seepage Repair in Royalton

completed

A construction project to address persistent seepage along the Erie Canal's earthen embankment in the town of Royalton. The project involved installing a soil-bentonite slurry wall along a 1.3-mile stretch of the 200-year-old embankment under the Erie Canalway Trail between Wruck Road and Peet Street, using DeWind's One-Pass Trenching Technology to create a permanent underground barrier to water without open excavations or tree removal. The project also included interim measures such as a filter blanket and a limited depth clay cut-off wall to stabilize the embankment and reduce seepage.
