Slope Stabilisation & Embankments

Slope stabilisation protects infrastructure and communities in challenging ground conditions. At Minova, we reinforce slopes and embankments with proven systems that control movement, improve drainage, and ensure long-term resilience—backed by decades of geotechnical expertise to help you manage risk and maintain productivity with confidence.

Erosion Control

Erosion control is crucial to keeping highways and rail corridors safe, especially where slopes face shallow failures, vegetation loss or concentrated surface water runoff. Minova provides grouted and non-grouted anchored solutions that secure meshes, geotextiles and reinforcement systems, giving immediate restraint and long-term stability. Grouted options perform well in weak or saturated soils, while grout-free systems simplify installation and suit remote locations. Both approaches integrate easily with drainage and hard armouring to protect vital transport infrastructure.

Engineering Challenges

  • Shallow Slope Failures
  • Weak Soils, Seismic Instability
  • Rapid Drawdown
  • Surface Water Runoff
  • Water-Level Rise
  • Unstable Overhangs or Undercuts

Slope Failures

Failures on steep transport slopes require robust, low-disruption stabilisation. Minova provides grouted and grout-free solutions using self-drilling anchors, all thread bar or mechanical anchors combined with high-strength facings and integrated drainage to control instability. These systems create reliable reinforcement for temporary or permanent works, supported by our design, training and testing expertise.

Engineering Challenges

  • Deep Seated Slope Failures
  • Weak Soils
  • Seismic Instability
  • Over-steepened Slopes
  • Unfavorable Geological Structures
  • Surcharge Loading

Cut Slopes

Cut slopes demand reliable stabilisation to manage surface movement. Minova delivers grouted and grout-free solutions using soil nails, rock bolts or mechanical anchors combined with high-strength mesh facings or shotcrete to secure exposed surfaces. Our systems provide strong load transfer, rapid installation and long-term durability, even in variable ground conditions. Designed for new excavations or remediation works, they minimise disruption, suit restricted or rope-access environments and can be finished to blend with the surrounding landscape.

Engineering Challenges

  • Over-steepened Slopes
  • Unfavorable Geological Structures (joints, bedding planes, faults)
  • Need for Rapid Stabilisation
  • Over-Excavation
  • Temporary Instability During Staged Excavation

Embankment Settlement

Micropiles combined with drainage and resin injection offer an effective solution for embankment settlement caused by soft or consolidating subsoils. Minova integrates self-drilling micropiles, PlatiDrain units and fast-setting injection resins to reinforce weak ground, improve load transfer and control long-term deformation.

Engineering Challenges

  • Water Infiltration
  • Weak soils
  • Creep
  • Settlement
  • Poor Compaction
  • Animal Burrowing

Drainage

Minova delivers effective Drainage Solutions that manage groundwater, reduce pore pressure, and protect the long-term integrity of excavations, slopes, and foundations. We offer a dependable range of systems engineered to move water away from reinforced ground and relieve hydrostatic pressures that can compromise stability. Integrated with Minova soil nails, rockbolts, mechanical anchors, and surface facings, our drainage systems create a controlled, predictable ground environment that improves safety, enhances performance, and supports more efficient project delivery.

Engineering Challenges

  • Poor Drainage (Excess pore water pressure)
  • Groundwater Seepage
  • Snowmelt
  • Perched Water Tables
  • Seasonal Groundwater Rise

Confined Sites

Confined or difficult-to-access sites require stabilisation systems that perform reliably within tight spatial and operational constraints. Minova offers grouted and grout-free options using lightweight bars or compact mechanical anchors supplied in short, coupled sections for hand or small-rig installation. These systems deliver strong or instant load transfer, minimise disturbance and suit rope-access or lightweight tooling where conventional rigs cannot operate. Their adaptable, low-impact approach supports fast, efficient work in tunnels, cuttings and urban corridors.

Engineering Challenges

  • Restricted access
  • Environmental Constraints (working near sensitive habitats)
  • Limited Working Space
