Engineering Geological Mapping at Politeknik Mersing

Client : JKR Cawangan Cerun / GoGEO Engineering
Year : 2022
Job detail:
1. The project involved geological assessment carried out for
Jabatan Kerja Raya Malaysia to improve failed slopes at
Politeknik Mersing, Johor. The scope cover desk study and field assessment, which revealed that the proposed development area is characterized by phyllite, slate, shale, and sandstone of the Mersing Formation. Signs of distress were observed across the site, possibly due to ineffective drainage systems and the presence of fill materials consisting of mixed grains, predominantly clay.

2. Slope stability analyses were performed at two sites, which
resulted in a factor of safety lower than the recommendations by JKR. The report provides conclusions and recommendations based on the assessment and analyses performed.
