Two months after two homes slid into a ravine in Draper, the developer is working to stabilize the area.
Edge Homes has begun the first phase of shoring up the slide zone so that they can work on a permanent fix in a couple of months.two homes slid into the ravine in late April"Where those homes were, they are now reinforcing those walls to stabilize that site," said David Dobbins, city manager for Draper.
Right now, the developer wants to make sure the walls won't collapse anymore before workers get in there to work on the permanent solution. They're installing large beams, known as soil nails, under the road, and around the walls to help hold everything in place. The permanent fix will involve backfilling. The city is reviewing the developer's plans for the long-term solution, which will take a couple of months to complete once they begin.
