Anti-erosion wall going up at Olympic Memorial
Olympic Memorial Hospital is getting a new safeguard against waterfront bluff erosion.
To mitigate potential loss of topsoil behind the hospital on the bluff, Olympic Medical Center’s board of commissioners in June approved building a retaining wall – called a soldier pile wall – to protect topsoil on the slope from erosion on the Olympic Medical Center flagship building’s property.
Work on the soldier pile wall is expected to begin this summer using the small works roster at an estimated cost of $290,000.
