ABSTRACT: The Grierson Hill Slide occurred along the North Saskatchewan River north valley slope in 1901 and has been active for more than 100 years. The landslide has been investigated during the Grierson Hill Road construction in the 1950s, the Shaw Conference Centre development in the 1970s, and most recently for the Valley Line LRT portal and valley structures. Slope movements have been monitored using a ground survey monitoring system that was established in the early 1980s, and more recently with slope inclinometers located within the landslide area. Recent developments in the Grierson Hill area include the Edmonton Valley Line LRT tunnel and portal on the east flank of the landslide and several small recreational buildings within the landslide. These developments require careful consideration of the slope stability and potential future slope movements that could impact the structure performance. This paper updates the history of the Grierson Hill Slide monitoring and provides an overview on the slope stabilization measures that have been used for the developments in the landslide area.
