Cutting of hill slope in fresh to moderately weathered & jointed basalt during road construction resulted in exposure of joint planes through which water percolated during rainfall. Joint plane, J3 (40°/200) act as main surface of rupture and J1 (73°/N

Waki Budruk-Sutarkond-Ranwadi road section
Proper drainage arrangements for keeping the slope unsaturated. 
Removal of hanging/ detaching blocks from the slopes.
Rock Bolting.
Wire mesh shotcreting on the slope. Clearance of chocked hill side drain.
Extensive Slope Cutting for road alignment through fresh to moderately weathered jointed basalt. Rain water percolation along these weak planes increases the instability of the rockmass and resulted in strength reduction and rock fall (planar and wedge f
