Project Information
The slopes in and around Tbilisi are highly prone to landslides due to unfavorable geological conditions. During periods of heavy rainfall, rock masses often become unstable and slide downslope along weak bedding planes. Additional risks are created by road cuts, building excavations, and other slope modifications, which further undermine natural stability. One such failure, with a total volume of about 2,500 m², occurred above #24 Titsian Tabidze Turn in February 2023. CSE specialists carried out a detailed engineering geological and geohazard assessment from March to April 2023. The study included geoscientific reconnaissance and the development of a preliminary mitigation design concept supported by static stability calculations. Our work involved: Engineering geological mapping and structural documentation UAV drone surveys and digital terrain modeling Geohazard and hydrological mapping Exploratory drilling investigations Mitigation concept and design, including mesh reinforcement and anchoring calculations Through this comprehensive approach, CSE provided effective solutions to reduce slope instability risks and ensure safer urban development in one of Tbilisi’s most landslide-prone areas.
