Our transcription: Once we've worked with our engineers in the office and determined whether or not the slopes proposed will be stable, what type of removals are necessary, we'll prepare a report with all this information that we can then share with the client.

After evaluating the stability of a site, geologists can make recommendations about whether a building project should be undertaken.

Ultimately, this can help minimize the risk of death and destruction due to landslide activity.
