In the challenging realm of pipeline exploration, geohazards such as landslides, rockfall, and erosion pose substantial threats to both safety and operational efficiency. Conventional repair methods often involve replacing or re-grading the affected soil, resulting in significant environmental disruption without addressing the fundamental issue of site stability.

In the intricate landscape of geotechnical engineering, steep slope soil stabilization emerges as a critical focal point, especially for pipeline facilities nestled in mountainous or hilly terrain. The stability of steep slopes is paramount, as instability can lead to landslides, soil erosion, and various other geohazards. Access Limited, under its geohazard Mitigation umbrella, deploys advanced solutions to tackle these challenges effectively:
Soil nailing involves strategically drilling steel reinforcing bars (nails) into the slope at an angle and grouting them in place. This technique provides additional support to the soil, significantly enhancing its stability.
Similar to soil nails, rock bolts are employed in rock formations to stabilize slopes. Various drilling techniques, including percussion drilling and diamond core drilling, can be utilized for their installation.
Synthetic geogrid materials are horizontally installed across the slope and anchored into the soil. Acting as a reinforcing layer, geogrids contribute substantially to slope stability for pipeline clients.
Concrete, stone, or other materials can be used to construct retaining walls, providing a vertical barrier to prevent soil movement and stabilize slopes effectively.
Proper drainage is integral to maintaining soil stability on steep slopes. Installing drainage systems, such as surface channels, subsurface drains, and culverts, prevents water accumulation and mitigates the risk of erosion or landslides.
In designing solutions for steep slope stabilization, Access Limited considers various factors such as soil type, slope angle, and groundwater conditions. By employing appropriate engineering solutions, pipeline companies can minimize the risks associated with steep slopes, ensuring the safety and sustainability of their operations. Our team of geotechnical engineers and experienced crews employ proprietary tools and techniques to execute optimal repairs with minimal environmental impact.
geohazards encompass a spectrum of natural phenomena, including earthquakes, landslides, sinkholes, and floods, posing considerable risks to pipeline sites. Access Limited takes a distinctive approach, prioritizing the creation of a stability model for each site. Leveraging this model, our engineers design repairs using cutting-edge technologies, such as launched SuperNails™, to stabilize the site with minimal disturbance.
