Detailed Geological Assessment at KP220 of SSGP

Client : PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd / WHA Sdn Bhd
Year : 2022
Job detail:
1. In November 2021, a pipeline dig up activity revealed a
pipeline parting at SSGP ROW, suspected to be caused
by geohazard. Geotechnica Sdn Bhd, in association with
Wan Husin & Associates Sdn Bhd, was appointed to
perform a geological assessment and recommend
mitigation action.

2. Field assessment showed high deformation and active
slope movement with signs of distress and geological
structures such as fault, buckling, boudinage, tension
cracks and water seepage. Kinematic analysis and XRD
testing identified potential sliding, wedge and toppling
failure, and revealed intense weathering and deformation.
Immediate and permanent remedial works were
recommended to prevent further deterioration.
