Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Glyn Bends construction. The story of the A5 diversion at Ty Nant has a long history. In Eirian's image we see the failed cutting slope and a considerable landslip 260889. In Eric's image we see work on the total removal of the landslipped section 479660, and the completed work and the re-profiled cutting in my own 1237336.
Here we go back to May 1995 and the original construction just to the south-east of the failed slope. The drilling rig is installing ground anchors to tie together the faulted blocks of Silurian mudstone. One of the anchors can be seen protruding from a freshly-drilled hole just above the rig. The flat, triangular areas on the rock face are the outcrops of the faults which ultimately overcame the ground anchors and slipped again. A classic tale of ingenuity overcome by the complexity of real ground conditions. The image was captured, with permission, during an excursion of the North Wales Geology Association. |
