CASE STUDIES
Active Geoengineering Consultancy
CASE STUDY 01 PROBLEM: Scouring was observed along a 27-meter slope
where an existing live outfall is also located. Recurring and
intense rainfall in the past had caused the slope to erode where
the RCPC outfall was built.

INVESTIGATION/STUDY:: A geotechnical investigation was

conducted wherein soil samples were collected and tested for
its properties using Direct Shear Test and Dynamic Cone
Penetration Test. The existing outfall was studied using
hydrologic and hydraulic analysis with the use of software
modelling and simulation in determining the discharge
velocity of the existing drainage.

CONCEPT & DESIGN:: Diverting the existing outfall in an area where a relatively dense soil will support the new outfall system.
An outfall system was designed to reduce the discharge velocity of the outfall to prevent future erosion and scouring. Soil
nailing with shotcrete, erosion control matting, and rockfall protection were also designed to maintain slope stability.

CASE STUDY 02
PROBLEM: Heavy rainfall and sustained strong winds in an island in the Philippines resulted in
the destruction of properties both infrastructure and agriculture. A slope failure had occurred
wherein an area in the revetment close to the tailrace has collapsed after the onslaught of the
typhoon.

INVESTIGATION/STUDY:: A geotechnical investigation was conducted in the

collapsed/exposed area, and it was observed that the fill material composing of
coarse-grained soil and cobbles were wet indicating that the occurrence of seepage. Samples
were also taken on site for laboratory testing to determine the properties and strength of the
fill material. Topographic and bathymetric surveys were also conducted near the area where
the failure occurred which will be critical in designing the appropriate system in addressing
the problem. Furthermore, a hydrology and hydraulic study were also conducted using
simulation and modelling of the flow of the water from HEPP to discharge and impact. A
slope stability study was also conducted to design an effective slope protection for the
compromised revetment.

CONCEPT & DESIGN:: A plunge pool was designed to dissipate the flow of the water following
its discharge from the spillway. A setback distance for the revetment away from the ski jump
bucket to avoid close impact from the discharge of water. Modifying the lip angle of the ski
jump bucket to increase the trajectory of the water farther away the revetment wall. New wing
wall and revetment wall were also designed considering the tailrace flow and discharge to
protect against possible erosion and scouring of the slope.
