Self - drilling soil nails were installed to the existing slope in order to arrest any further movement. A row of bored piles were installed and ground anchors were installed under the existing road, pre – fabricated wall sections were placed over the ground anchors and fixed to the piles, The ground anchors were then stressed to a working load in order to prevent any further movement to the road.
