ABSTRACT

Some parts of Slovak Republic territory, especially the regions of Carpathian Flysch and Neogene Volcanics (Eastern Slovakia) have favourable conditions for development of slope movements. An example of an active slope deformation is a Fintice stream-like landslide. The present state of landslide stability and prediction of its development can be evaluated on the basis of monitoring results. The results show instability of the landslide toe or accumulation area. The landslide is affecting gas pipeline and road situated in the toe. A decision, based on comparative costs, must be made between landslide stabilitzation remedial work or removal of the utilities.
