Slope stability
Slope stability
Whether designing a new embankment, an infrastructure cutting or assessing an existing slope, we calculate global stability and recommend targeted measures where needed to keep the slope sound in both the short and the long term.
When to use
- Road and rail infrastructure
- Embankments and berms
- Temporary steep cuttings
- Assessment of existing slopes after rainfall or when concerns arise
What we deliver
- Stability calculation with multiple slip surface methods
- Short- and long-term checks (total and effective stresses)
- Mitigation proposals: drainage, soil nailing, geogrids or flatter slope
- Report and calculation note to Eurocode 7
Technical notes
- Short- and long-term scenarios analysed separately
- Groundwater levels and infiltration are accounted for
- Optional combination with a site investigation campaign (CPT, boreholes)
