Eco-Trail Slope Stabilization

Terrain assessment for a coastal hiking corridor

This project involved a full structural terrain assessment for a proposed eco-tourism trail along a fragile coastal dune ecosystem. Our team conducted soil borings, slope stability modeling, and hydrological analysis to identify high-risk erosion zones.

We recommended a combination of bioengineering solutions, including native grass planting and coir log installations, to stabilize slopes without disrupting the natural landscape. The final design balanced visitor access with long-term conservation goals, resulting in a safe, low-impact trail approved by local environmental authorities.

Key Findings & Recommendations

  • Identified three high-risk erosion zones along the 12-km corridor
  • Recommended native grass species for root-based slope reinforcement
  • Designed coir log placement to manage surface runoff without hard structures
  • Provided seasonal monitoring schedule tied to rainfall thresholds
