Landslides are a type of &#8220;mass wasting,&#8221; which denotes any down-slope movement of Soil and rock under the direct influence of gravity. The term &#8220;landslide&#8221; encompasses five modes of slope movement: falls, topples, slides, spreads, and flows. These are further subdivided by the type of geologic material (bedrock, debris, or earth). Debris flows (commonly referred to as mudflows or mudslides) and rock falls are examples of common landslide types.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\"><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">Can we avoid landslides?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\"><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">There are multiple ways which can help us in saving from these big life-threatening disasters. Yes, you heard it right. Apart from planting trees on the hilly slopes, there are various technical treatments available to preventing from landslides; it includes modifying slope geometry, using chemical agents to reinforce slope material, installing structures such as piles and retaining walls, grouting rock joints and fissures, Soil nailing into a slope, Diverting debris pathways, and rerouting surface and underwater drainage.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\"><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">Who does it in India?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:11pt\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\"><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial Unicode MS&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;\">We Spar Geo Infra is a specialized Geo-Engineering Company governed by management having more than 30 years of experience in designing and executing complex Geotechnical and Civil Engineering Projects in Pan India.
