Resolving the landslide threat on the Vashlijvari slope near Machavariani Street would require a complex approach and implementation of various measures, said today Peter Neuman, an engineer-geologist invited by the Tbilisi City Hall.

“The taken measures, in particular, blocking the road and imposing restrictions, are correct. There is likely to be a large-scale landslide initiation phase, and the first-hand measures like reinforcement, drainage, and monitoring are needed.

The issue is quite complex, and it requires a complex approach. Quite a lot of rocks are released, which complicates the work process. It is necessary to identify the specific current process and then take appropriate measures”, - said Peter Neuman.
