Turtle Lake Shoreline
Shoreview, MN
PRODUCTS USED:
- Powerblanket-6’ x 12’ Extra Hot Super Duty blankets
- Geotex 801 rip rap fabric strips
CONTRACTOR: Cold Stone Shorelines and Boulder Walls, Marine on St. Croix, MN
PROJECT NOTES: In order to extend their ability to work in colder temperatures the contractors chose to use two Powerblankets. The project consisted of excavating the ground below the frost line and installing a boulder wall at the shoreline of Turtle Lake. The use of the two Extra Hot Super Duty Powerblankets allowed them to thaw the ground below the frost line over night. This allowed the contractor to excavate with ease and work with soft soil while placing the boulders.
