Superficial instabilities and erosion at the slope

Slope Stability - Rahovei 20, Cluj-Napoca 2013

The vegetation could not stabilize the slope due to very intense sliding and erosion

After vegetation removal, soil nails were installed to stabilize the slope globally

Because of the geothermal installation it was impossible to install soil nails on top of the slope. The mesh was fixed and tensioned with special setup of the border rope

Year of installation

Initial situation

This 7 to 8 meters high slope was cut in order to build a private house. Due to the geotechnical data, the slope should have been stable at 40 degrees and  up to 4.9 m. When the owner installed the pipes for a geotermal pump on top of the slope, the slope began to fail.

Geology

Silt and clay.

Description

Geobrugg designed and delivered a complete protection system. The solution was a standard soil nailing together with GREENAX® mesh. A total of 229 m² were stabilized using 40 soil nails R32.  They were installed in the pattern of 2.50 x 2.20 m.
