Soft Engineering - Cliff Regrading

Advantages

  • Cliff becomes more stable
  • Less prone to unexpected movement

Disadvantages

  • May be impractical if valuable land use exists on cliff top
  • Ongoing maintenance costs

Evaluation

Artificially reducing the cliff angle with bulldozers at the cliff behind the beach to reduce cliff height and slope angle, reducing mass movements.
