Switchback Road and Slope Repair Geotechnical Investigation and Biological Survey
in Northern Training Area, Okinawa, Japan
OYO Pacific conducted a geotechnical investigation in support of proposed rock bolt and anchor system design for the repair of
a landslide which caused closure to a switchback road. OYO analyzed surface erosion and rock slope failure mechanisms through site modeling and provided design values and technical recommendations for the design of the slope stabilization system. In addition, OYO provided a threatened and endangered species survey of the area being disturbed by construction, mapping locations of identified natural resources and recommended environmental mitigation procedures.
