What We Do
Our slope stability assessments are designed to:
Recommend Remedial Solutions
Develop effective strategies to mitigate risks and enhance slope stability.
Model Stability
Use advanced computational models to simulate slope behavior under various conditions.
Identify Risks
Evaluate the inherent hazards associated with slopes and embankments.
By understanding the unique geological and environmental factors of your site, we tailor our approach to ensure the long-term stability and safety of your project.
Our Key Services
Risk Analysis
We begin by assessing the potential hazards:
- Site Evaluation: Detailed inspection and mapping of slope geometry, soil conditions, and existing vegetation.
- Historical Data Review: Analysis of previous incidents, rainfall patterns, and seismic activities that may influence slope behavior.
- Hazard Identification: Pinpointing zones susceptible to erosion, landslides, or other destabilizing factors.
- Risk Ranking: Quantifying potential risks to prioritize areas for further analysis.
Stability Modelling
We simulate and predict slope performance under various scenarios:
- Geotechnical Analysis: Evaluating soil strength, cohesion, and friction angle using laboratory data and in-situ tests.
- Computational Modeling: Using advanced software to simulate slope behavior under static and dynamic loads.
- Scenario Testing: Analyzing the impact of natural events (e.g., heavy rainfall, earthquakes) on slope stability.
- Safety Factor Calculation: Determining the factor of safety to gauge the likelihood of slope failure.
Remedial Solutions
We develop customized solutions to enhance slope stability:
- Design Recommendations: Proposing drainage improvements, retaining structures, or vegetation strategies to stabilize slopes.
- Engineering Interventions: Outlining construction methods for soil reinforcement, rock bolting, or anchoring systems.
- Monitoring Plans: Suggesting installation of instrumentation for continuous slope monitoring and early-warning systems.
- Cost-Benefit Analysis: Balancing remediation options with project budget and long-term maintenance needs.

How often do you recommend active monitoring vs. passive remediation like vegetation stabilization?
It depends on the site’s risk level and project goals. Active monitoring is recommended for high-risk or sensitive sites, while passive methods like vegetation stabilization are suitable for stable, low-risk areas. We assess each case individually to choose the most effective approach.
Are your services suitable for residential sites near natural hillsides?
Yes, our services are well-suited for residential sites near natural hillsides. We conduct thorough site assessments, including geological and geotechnical evaluations, to ensure the stability of the hillside and recommend the best solutions for slope stability, drainage, and foundation integrity. This helps mitigate risks and ensures safe development on challenging terrain.
How long does a full slope stability assessment usually take, from consultation to report delivery?
The duration of a full slope stability assessment typically ranges from a few weeks to a few months, depending on site complexity, data collection methods, and analysis requirements.
The use of real time monitoring instruments sets a high bar for ongoing slope safety management.
