Face Stability Where are we now?

摘要

Within the 1999 Quarry Regulations there is a statutory requirement for owners of existing and redundant quarries to ensure that they are geotechnically stable. Owners and managers are taking, or will have to take, measures to carry out risk assessments to ensure that faces and slopes are, and will remain, safe. Some owners have in-house geotechnical experts to carry out these risk assessments while others need to employ third-party consultants to do it for them.
