NATURAL TERRAIN HAZARD STUDY

Scoping Study for Global Quantitative Risk Assessment of Natural Terrain Landslides in Hong Kong
Atkins was commissioned by Geotechnical Engineering Office to study and report on the feasibility of evaluating the risk from natural terrain landslides in Hong Kong in terms of Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA). The scope of the investigation included review of studies on natural and quasi-natural terrain landslides, identification and classification of the range of landslide hazards and establishment of approach that may be adopted for global QRA.

 
 
     

Geotechnical Assessment and Mitigation Measure Design of Natural Slopes Adjacent to Fanling Area 49A
Atkins was commissioned by the Hong Kong Housing Authority (HKHA) to carry out a geotechnical assessment of the natural slope for a high-rise residential development site, designated in Fanling Area. This was the second application of Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) techniques to slope in Hong Kong . Atkins was the first consultant to design mitigation measures for a natural slope based on findings of QRA.

 
     
Debris Flow Barrier in Discovery Bay
Under the Discovery Bay Master Plan 7.0 site formation, Atkins had identified that there was a potential debris flow along the existing stream courses that would affect the proposed development. Debris flow barrier was therefore proposed to mitigate it in order to facilitate development underneath. Two debris flow barriers with capacity to withhold more than 2,400m 3 of debris are therefore required at the proposed slope crest to capture the debris resulting from possible landslide at the natural terrain about the proposed site formation works.
