| 摘要： | St. Louis is home to famous landmarks, many of them engineering marvels, like the Gateway Arch, Union Station and Eads Bridge. It will soon be the proud site of another engineering marvel, but one that won't be visible. "This is one of the biggest infrastructure projects St. Louisans will never see," said Col. Kevin Golinghorst, commander of the St. Louis Engineer District. Golinghorst was speaking at the project site of the East St. Louis cutoff seepage wall project. The reason St. Louisans won't see it is that it will be completely underground, doing its job of protecting the levees on that side of the river from under-seepage and sand boils. When completed by the fall of 2022, this particular cutoff wall will be the largest, deepest project of its kind, going deeper than any similar project and using specially designed equipment. It will extend 4,600 feet parallel to the existing levee, or about 3/4 oi a mile, on the Illinois side of the Mississippi River just to the north of downtown St. Louis. The project is about 75 percent complete now. "A cutoff wall in this type of riverside setting has never been done before,' said Eric Piel, the Corps' project engineer for the project. |
