UToledo Parks Tower Soldier Pile Retaining Wall and Walkway

DGL provided detailed design and construction phase services for the rehabilitation of the Parks Tower walkway and retaining walls. The existing walkway connected the Parks Tower main entrance with the Parks Tower Service Drive. The walkway was situated along a wooded hillside and had a grade change of approximately 15 feet. DGL determined that a soldier pile system with reinforced concrete facing was the most cost-effective and practical solution, minimizing disruption to the existing environment while being well-suited to the site conditions.
