Effective slope protection methods shotcrete machine
For slope-protection, if there are three words that we will describe what the geology engineering works are, it will be “Soil control and improvement”. Soil control refers to slope protection or stabilization. Others prefer to use the more graphic “erosion control”.
These are the work or interventions that are done on a certain slope to prevent it from falling or sliding down (eroding). Examples are the application of shotcrete or concrete spray to the surface of the slope, and when needed, the installation of soil reinforcement, like soil nail and anchors to hold it in place.
In some cases, planting vegetation (bioengineering) and just reducing the angle of the slope are effective slope protection methods.
Soil improvement refers to the modification of the soil properties itself. Examples are the application of cement grout to the ground to improve its bearing capacity and allow the construction of a structure.
