Wyoming Wind Erosion
Platte County, Wyoming
BEFORE
Existing Conditions
The 100-foot-wide pipeline ROW has two 8-inch crude oil pipelines that cross Platte County, Wyoming. The soil is composed of mostly sandy material. Wind erosion was blowing sand and removing cover from the pipelines, leaving the pipelines with shallow cover.
AFTER
Solution
Two sites were graded and geotextile material was placed on top of the grade. Submar articulating concrete mat systems (37 mats) was installed to protect the pipeline. All edges of the mat system were toed into anchor and flank trenches that were backfilled with existing material and rip rap. Final grading was performed, seed and straw were placed on the disturbed area.
