Restoration and Monitoring of Runway 5 at Charleston Regional Airport using GeoTechnical Solutions

In 2015, Charleston Regional Airport in West Virginia encountered a substantial landslide at the terminus of Runway 5, resulting in damage to nearby infrastructure, such as a church, residences, and the EMAS structure located at the end of the runway. Schnabel Engineering was commissioned to devise a slope repair plan and introduce a monitoring solution to avert potential future failures. Orders Construction, in collaboration with consultant CTL Engineering, supervised construction operations and monitoring activities before ultimately transferring the sense metrics platform to the Owner.
