We assess landslide events, try to determine the cause of the slide, and work with our clients to develop a solution that will restore the integrity of the slope. We also analyze existing slopes involved with engineering projects and design reinforcement options when necessary. Slope inclinometers can be installed to detect and monitor slope movements.
Our Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) capability enables us to obtain continuous subsurface profiles of a landslide condition. Coupled with our conventional test boring capabilities this allows us to obtain the most comprehensive information on subsurface conditions possible.
Summit uses Slide v6.0 to perform our slope stability analyses. We can perform analyses using the Bishop, Corp of Engineers, GLE/Morgenstern-Price, Lowe-Karafiath, Janbu, Ordinary Fellenius, and Spencer methods. This comprehensive software is complete with sensitivity, probabilistic, and back analysis capabilities and includes finite element groundwater seepage analysis for steady state and transient conditions. Structures of complex geometry and materials and point, linear, and area loads can be modeled accurately to reflect existing conditions or proposed construction conditions.
In conjunction with our analyses, Summit provides slope repair, renovation, and stabilization options as appropriate. We also prepare designs and construction documents for the implementation of repairs, renovations, and stabilization.
