SYNOPSIS

As rainfall events intensify and development encroaches on steeper terrain, slope stabilisation has become a critical concern in infrastructure, energy, and environmental projects across Malaysia and Southeast Asia. This webinar presents a modern, performance based approach to engineering reliable slope stabilisation using high-tensile wire mesh systems, widely adopted for mitigating shallow landslides, rockfalls, and surface erosion on weathered slopes.

Participants will explore the scientific foundation and field validation behind these systems, including full-scale impact and pull-out tests that inform key engineering parameters. These real-world data sets form the basis of practical tools that support precise system selection, layout optimisation, and material planning.

A highlight of the session is a hands-on introduction to Rovulum - a specialised engineering tool designed to assist with the dimensioning of high-tensile mesh systems. Rovulum enables users to evaluate slope profiles, estimate anchoring requirements, generate system layouts, and produce detailed bill-of-materials based on actual site conditions. Attendees will learn how to integrate these tools into broader slope design workflows, ensuring greater accuracy, efficiency, and confidence in real-world applications.

This webinar is ideal for geotechnical engineers, civil engineers, consultants, and contractors involved in slope assessment, tendering, or protection system implementation.
