Terrain reprofiling for rocky or loose slopes

Adapting and Securing Terrain Profiles

Terrain reprofiling involves modifying the profile of a given area to meet specific requirements for safety, development, or construction preparation. Depending on the site’s configuration, techniques range from mechanical excavation (short- or long-arm excavators) to the controlled use of explosives for more complex operations.

Why Perform Terrain Reprofiling?

1. Road Widening

• Objective: Adapt or expand road infrastructure.
• Techniques:
  • Mechanical excavation using excavators.
  • Controlled blasting for resistant rocky zones.

2. Protruding Rock Masses on Cliffs

• Issue: Overhanging rocks that pose risks of collapse or instability.
• Solutions:
  • Safe reprofiling through purging:
    • Manual or mechanized purging with specialized tools.
    • Mechanical cutting using excavators.
  • Controlled blasting for precise and secure removal of rock masses.

3. Cavities at the Base of Cliffs

• Issue: Cavities create overhangs and voids, complicating stabilization operations (difficulty anchoring reinforcements).
• Solutions:
  • Mechanical cutting to remove overhangs.
  • Controlled blasting to adjust cliff profiles and facilitate stabilization work.

4. Layers of Unstable Materials

• Issue: Loose or unstable materials must be removed prior to stabilization works.
• Solutions:
  • Mechanical excavation using:
    • Traditional excavators for accessible zones.
    • Long-reach excavators for hard-to-access areas or significant heights.

Benefits of Terrain Reprofiling

1. Enhanced Safety:

   • Eliminates risks associated with instabilities or rock projections.

2. Preparation for Works:

   • Facilitates stabilization or construction operations by:
     • Allowing optimal anchor orientation.
     • Removing obstacles that impede works.

3. Adaptability:

   • Customized solutions adapted to site constraints (mechanical or explosive methods).

4. Improved Development:

   • Creates new profiles to support road widening or optimize hazardous zones.
