ABSTRACT: Assessing the potential impact of a landslide to a transportation corridor requires an understanding of the kinematics and triggers of movement. Klohn Crippen Berger Ltd. (KCB) is tasked with providing geohazard assessment services as part of the Geohazard Risk Management Program (GRMP) for Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors (TEC). On May 31, 2022, KCB and TEC conducted an inspection of a deep-seated landslide on the north side of Hwy 570:01 in central Alberta. The observed landslide features included a series of backscarps at mid-slope and open ground cracks in the upper section of the slope, and highly weathered and fractured rock blocks. This paper details the characteristics and mechanisms of the landslide, as well as the initial assessment methodology, recommendations and mitigation strategies adopted.
