Stahl Sheaffer Engineering began providing construction management services to the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission for the $78 million remediation of the New Baltimore Slide at the beginning of 2013. This is a major slide mass that has caused maintenance and safety problems for the PTC since its original construction in the late 1930s. The early involvement of Stahl Sheaffer personnel enabled them to facilitate onsite activities, such as test blast studies and the implementation of a robotic total station laser surveying system. This system provides continuous 24-hour monitoring of the slide and, when implemented to full capacity, will provide real time coordinates of over 100 permanent prism locations on the slide. This will accurately monitor movements in the slide before and during construction. Stahl Sheaffer is responsible for viewing the information on a daily basis.
