Project Details :
Project Description: Tree Preservation and Shoreline Stabilization
Owner:
Location: Peaks Island, Maine
Project Team: Walsh Engineering Associates, Inc.
Work Scope:
WEA developed shoreline stabilization plans and details to address extensive coastal erosion with minimal impact to the coastal environment. Under its eroded condition, a 36-inch diameter historic oak tree hung in the balance. WEA developed a granite block seawall and shoreland stabilization plan, prepared and obtained local (City of Portland Level II Site Plan and Shoreland Zone) and state (Maine DEP NRPA) permits for this project. WEA provided our clients with an innovative design incorporating the restrictions of specific slope angle parameters while also allowing an historic oak tree to remain.
