Case History-Olympic Sculpture Park MSE Structures

The nine-acre Olympic Sculpture Park (OSP) overlooks the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, and required the import of approximately 164,000 cubic meters (215,000 cubic yards) of fill. The park is adjacent to Elliott Bay in downtown Seattle, Washington. Approximately 4,180 vertical square meters (45,000 vertical square feet) of wire basket face Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) structures support the massive urban fill operation and provide the framework for the pedestrian park above. Pedestrian bridges over a busy street corridor and railroad tracks provide access to the urban waterfront. Design and construction of the MSE structures were completed by late 2006, and the park was opened for public access in early 2007. Unusual project features included:
