Geological, terrain and site conditions existing geotechnical and natural hazard features
Assessed Values
- Terrain stability and earthquakes
- Snow avalanches
- Climate
Assessment Methods
- Review of background information, environmental setting and characteristics
- Inspect current conditions, including slope movements, erosion , drainage channel scour or downcutting
- Geotechnical and geological mapping of outcrops and excavation of shallow test pits in key areas
- Drilling investigation to determine if structural feature depths will impact stability of the site development
- Evaluation of natural hazard conditions that could impact
- Sequencing of excavation and development of pit slopes
- Stockpile locations or heights
- Stability of adjacent McNab creek channel side slopes
- Review potential effects of changes in surface water and groundwater seepage
- Stability evaluations for both static and seismic cases
