Inexpensive and Fast Landslide Cleanup
Inexpensive and Fast Landslide Cleanup
(OP)
Helping out a non-profit organization that runs a local railway. They suffered what looks like a slide slope failure with an approximate amount of soil to be moved at around 250,000 cy to 500,000 cy.
There is large trees mixed into the soil and am wondering of any ideas on inexpensive ways to clean this up without damaging the tracks. The site is pretty remote and hauling out the material would be by rail. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Pictures that might be helpful.

Can the tress be sold?
Next organise your plant and your excavation team using the rails as you suggest.
250,000 cy seems a lot (about 190,000m3). If it was 5m deep by 10m wide that would be 3.8km. If this is correct I think your non-profit organisation won't be able to cope - contact the insurer.
RE: Inexpensive and Fast Landslide Cleanup
please check is it cubic feet? This would give about 7,000m3 which would be more reasonable.
