1. Removal of slide material/ debris from the affected slope. 2. Construction of retaining wall with proper back filler material and sufficient weep holes. 3. Slope grading to a gentler angle may be considered, esp. at the crown portion of the slide.

1. Slope forming material is predominantly composed of highly weathered garnetiferous mica schist intermixed with loose soil. 2. Regolith/ overburden thickness of >5 m. 3. Affected hillslope is moderately dissected by drainages. 4. Oversaturation of slop
