We offer plenty of specialist ground stabilisation services. Slopes often need to be stabilised, repaired or completely removed because they refer to rugged terrain and exposed sites. Over time, natural factors such as the weather and gravity can take their toll on many slopes, making them hazardous and impracticable.
To illustrate the importance of slope stability, what causes issues with slope strength and reliability, and how Conrad projects can work on these issues, we’ve collected this helpful information.
Why do landslides happen?
Factors such as environmental influences and third-party interference can contribute to slope failure. It’s essential to be aware of these factors as it may mean irreversible changes are required.
- The steepness of a slope
- Water drainage
- Soil composition
- Joints and fractures
- Erosion over time due to rainfall or drought
- Earthquakes
- Third-party influences like infrastructure, construction or traffic
- Strength or heaviness of materials on a slope over a long period
What are the different types of stabilising methods for slopes?
We put in all the hard work of soil stabilisation services for you. Whether you’re worried about pollution, erosion or landslides, we have a solution that will provide a cost-effective and eco-friendly way to prevent these issues. Thanks to our wide range of machinery and training, we offer a variety of ground stabilisation systems depending on the needs.
- Soil nailing – This is a popular option due to its range of applicability. This process begins with drilling steel rods into the side of the slope. Afterwards, specialist slope mesh is placed over these steel rods to create a safe surface.
- Rock anchoring – Rock anchors are a technique to stabilise more unstable areas of ground such as cliff edges and deep rocky ground. This is achieved by drilling many metal bars into the centre of the mass. This protects the stones mesh-style. This can be traced to a strong and secure structure, and stability dispersed quickly in the exterior.
- Shotcreting is a simple technique that reduces the risk of a slope problem arising by reinforcing it with a high-pressure nozzle and strong steel mesh. This is done to prevent the slope from moving off course, keeping it stable.
HOW EFFECTIVE IS SLOPE STABILISATION?
Suppose you’re not sure whether you need ground stabilisation or reinforced slopes. In that case, it can seem like an unnecessary expense – but there are requirements and benefits to keep in mind.
However, experts in slope maintenance will know that the slopes need to be stabilised and will see the importance of it. Whether for commercial, residential, or infrastructure locations, safely managing sloped ground or barriers is essential to any project.
At Condor Projects, our team members are trained in specific areas to help you find a solution that matches your needs. If you plan to maintain a level of safety and usability for your slope area, choosing the appropriate slope stabilisation before structural concerns will be the most cost-effective approach.
Condor Projects can help with slope stabilization because we tailor our services to meet the needs of projects. We use bespoke machinery and specialist techniques to produce high-quality slope maintenance.
