1. Toe support for the daylighted slope material through construction of strong concrete retaining wall with sufficient weep holes.
2. Construction of lined hill side drains.

The affected area is composed of highly weathered sandstone with insitu soil of about 0.5ΓÇô2 m. Extensive slope excavation beyond the critical angle for road construction having weak slope forming material, combined with heavy downpour resulted in sa
