This GEO Report consists of two Landslide Study Reports on the investigation of selected slope failures that occurred in 1999. The investigations were carried out by Fugro Maunsell Scott Wilson Joint Venture (FMSW) for the Geotechnical Engineering Office as part of the 1999 Landslide Investigation Consultancy.
Section 1 of the report presents the findings of a detailed study of a landslide, which was reported on 7 June 1999 in a cut slope located below the Benjamin Franklin Centre at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin.
