Janod
was originally called into Amtrak after two consecutive rockfalls
in the beginning of 2001.
Amtrak
decided to take a proactive approach to rock slope stability
and hired Janod to stabilize their most critical rock slopes.
Amtrak quickly realized that the work that Janod was performing
would bring the safety of the rock slopes up to the standard
that Amtrak demands on it's railway.
Another
benefit of having Janod in to perform the work was that all
the work was completed ahead of schedule and below budget.
Although Janod stabilized the most critical rock slopes Amtrak
is continuing with its proactive approach to categorize the
remaining rock slopes and planning their approach to future
work if necessary.
