Project Spotlight: Reinforcing Mountain Slopes for Underground Development

In our previous post, we highlighted GSI’s slope stabilization works for a mountainous project site being prepared for future underground excavation activities. This time, we’re taking a closer look at how the slope was systematically reinforced to support long-term ground stability in challenging terrain conditions.

The project involved a combination of slope cutting, structural reinforcement, and surface erosion protection measures designed to prepare the area for safe excavation near the planned tunnel portal.

✔️ Slope Preparation and Earthworks
The mountainside was carefully cut and reshaped to remove unstable material and prepare the slope for stabilization works. This created a safer and more controlled surface for the installation of reinforcement systems.

✔️ Shotcreting and Soil Nailing
Critical sections near the tunnel entrance were reinforced using soil nails and shotcrete to help strengthen the slope and reduce the risk of ground movement or rockfall in excavation-adjacent areas.

✔️ Erosion Protection Measures
Erosion control mats were installed across surrounding slope sections to help manage surface runoff, minimize soil loss, and support long-term slope protection during and after construction activities.

The project highlights GSI’s ability to execute integrated slope stabilization solutions in demanding mountain environments where terrain conditions, access limitations, and future underground works require careful planning and specialized field execution.

🛠️ Specialized access. Challenging terrain. Reinforcement built for long-term stability. That’s the GSI way.
