20′ Seawall Hilton Inn @ Laughlin, Nevada

Unique Features:

The wall was installed into an existing embankment at the east end of the Hilton site along the Colorado River in 1989. The structure was built concurrently with the building construction. Depending on electrical power generation demands river flow rates vary on a daily basis. The wall was designed for water surface elevation variations of up to 12′ per day. To prevent fines migration filter fabrics/geotextiles were placed on the fill side of the wall structure.
