In many occasion, stability measure adopted for controlling slide has been found to be unsuccessful, inadequate causing not only the safety risk but also huge economic loss. This paper describe history, effects, causes, stabilization measures and effectiveness of these measures played for controlling landslide of headwork area of Upper Mai Hydroelectric Project. The pioneering solution applied for landslide stabilization such as application of rock bolts, shotcrete and water management found to be highly effective in controlling the landslide.
