Geotechnical engineering is one of the most important components in the construction of the underground parts of facilities for various purposes. The vast potential of geotechnical technologies makes it possible to successfully complete foundation construction in any engineering and geological conditions and any area, including slopes, gullies, and embankments. The conditions of the Arctic regions are no exception. It is important to consider the specifics of each facility. It is common to see facilities erected on varying terrain with structurally unstable soils running across, loaded with slopes. In geotechnical practice, construction on such slopes is sometimes carried out without proper engineering support, i.e., without any engineering surveys or landslide protection measures. In most cases, disregard for generally accepted standards leads to undesirable consequences represented by the deformation of the constructed buildings. This paper reviews one of such cases.
