Landslide Investigation
|
 Certain hillside parcels may be located within landslides, or are susceptible to landsliding. Geologists determine whether a slide is ancient or active, assess the risks associated future sliding, and describe the physical properties of the slide such that the engineer can design a structure to withstand a future landslide event. This typically involves descending down a downhole shaft up to 100 feet deep into the ground. The geologist observes and logs the physical characteristics of the rock strata and returns samples back to the lab for further analysis. AES geologists have performed hundreds of landslide investigations in the Los Angeles area.
