Abstract

This report presents the findings of a detailed study of the hillside area at Sha Tin Heights. In 1997, six landslides (GEO Incident Nos. MW97/6/12, MW97/6/23, MW97/7/15, MW97/7/25, MW97/7/90A, MW97/7/90B) occurred on the hillside at Sha Tin Heights, Sha Tin. The debris of three landslides that occurred in June and July 1997 and involving a total volume of 520 m3 travelled downslope and encroached onto Woodcrest Hill (No. 8006 Tai Po Road) and K. K. Terrace (No. 8004 Tai Po Road) at the toe of the hillside. There were no casualties as a result of the 1997 landslides.
