In most civil engineering projects, the risk of slope failure has to be considered for allexcavations performed until the project is completed. The risk is founded in the uncertaintiesof the geotechnical properties of the soil that the excavations are performed in. With the riskof slope failure follows the risk towards the project budget, delays versus time plan andinjures to those involved in the excavation. To prevent the aforementioned risks the SwedishGeotechnical Society, SGF, have written a report that presents a structured way to performrisk management within geotechnical projects.By performing an excavation that simulates one that would be excavated for installing pipeswithin clay, measurement have been performed on wooden sticks that has reflex tape. Thewooden sticks were placed on the head and the toe of the excavated slope, with the intentionto capture the movement of a beginning slope failure. This was performed by using theobservational method for the risk treatment in the risk management process for theexcavation. The results of the measurements in the slope toe indicates a beginning of a slopefailure. However, due to the large spread of measured results on the excavation head theresults could not be used as information for risk treatment.
