Rock Slope Assessment at PJU8 Bukit Lanjan

Geologically, any type of rocks is subjected to at least a primary structure (i.e. beddings, unconformities, etc.) and/or secondary structures (i.e. foliation, joint, faults etc.). These structures usually were generalized as planes of discontinuities where it is classified as weak region of the rock mass. In worst case, intersections of any of these structures may lead to rock slope failures by either falls or/and rock slides.

Hence, it is important to map out all relevant structures that attributed to the rock mass integrity.The main objectives of the studies, amongst others, are to identify the physical geologic characteristics of the area, notably the geological features and processes that might induce geological hazards to the proposed development, human lives and activities, and to facilitate the design and selection of most suitable mitigation measures for risks of landslide and/or rock slope failures.
