Slope stabilization involves the installation of steel elements, typically grouted threaded rods or screw-type anchors, into the slope to provide structural reinforcement by transferring tensile forces to competent soil or rock strata.

On roads, during building site excavation, or under foundations, slope stabilization offers a solution for increased safety and heightened efficiency. Slope stabilization can help secure both natural and man-made slopes through external and internal support measures.
YGC specializes in using a combination of external support measures like micropiles and tieback anchors, as well as internal support measures including grouting and soil nails. By transferring tensile forces to competent soil or rock strata, the installation of steel elements reinforces the existing slope. Slope stabilization can also include grading, drainage, and other structural measures to ensure slope stability in both natural slopes and excavations. Many of these projects work most efficiently in a design/build environment.
