OceanaGold (Philippines), Inc. owns and operates the high-grade gold and copper Didipio mining project bounded by the provinces of Quirino and Nueva Vizcaya, about 270 km north of Manila, Philippines. Prior to opening the site for operation, construction of a 24-kilometer access road was required. Large portions of mountain slopes were cut for the said purpose. The cut slopes, when exposed to rain, were prone to erosion. Immediate prevention was required to address the problem.

The landslide of Pangi nallah on the old Hindustan-Tibet road (bottom road) at NH-22 at KM 373. 05 causes inconvenience to the civilians, Army, BRO, and ITBP Officials. The major problems on the site were rockfall / falling debris, surficial instability, erosion and subsurface water flow, which poses a continuous threat to the people and traffic flow along the section of NH 22 at KM 373. 05. Therefore, the site required suitable mitigation measure for a smooth and safe traffic flow. It was observed from the engineering investigations that the existing road width near Pangi nallah varies from 3. 5 to 4 m. Most of the road was damaged and the total stretch covered by the landslide was about 130 m. The hillside height is about 1000 m, whereas the valley is approximately 60 m deep with a steep slope angle of 60-80 degrees.

The Museum of the Future (MOTF) is a unique initiative by the Dubai government that explores the future of science, technology, and innovation and will be located at a prime spot in Sheikh Zayed Road and near the Burj Khalifa. The architect Kila designed MOTF in three main parts: the lower green hill, the upper building, and the elliptical void, representing earth, mankind & innovation, respectively. The inspiration for the green hill was also to elevate the building calmly and unobtrusively above the metro line and create greenery in elevation where visitors can enjoy while engaging with the Museum. The green hill is to be done through a smooth transition from the site as an earthen, vegetated mound with a minimal visible built intervention. A three-story podium structure will be embedded inside the green hill, which will house the lobby, auditorium, cafés, restaurants, retail, car parking, etc. For the aforementioned reasons, the vegetated mount must be done as a THIN CLADDING of varying slopes rather than a solid earth hill.
