Abstract 

There was a new construction site within the existing dense urban development in the Pechersk District of Kyiv. The influence zone of the new construction included the following buildings surrounding the new development: four residential five-storey buildings and one two-storey non-residential building. Three of them were located on the Klovskyi Slope and two - at its foot. The results of assessing the slope stability and impact on the deep pit fencing showed the necessity of their monitoring. According to the preliminary calculations, the maximum horizontal displacements (up to 56 mm) had to be experienced by the contour of the inner pit fencing. On the lines of the complicated slope relief, in the direction of the pit, three inclinometric boreholes were arranged between the pit fencing (a few meters from it) and existing development buildings. The boreholes depths had to provide the complete information about soil deformation processes. The experimental results of inclinometric studies proved the absence of the soil masses significant displacements in the inclinometric boreholes arrangement area. The inclinometric observations made it possible to control the displacements of soil masses, the activity of which could lead to the deformation processes in the buildings and territories of the surrounding development adjacent to the construction site. The landslide processes control made it possible to safely carry out the construction work, as well as to ensure the residents safety in the vicinity of the construction site.
