It is the Trøndelag that has historically been exposed to the largest clay landslides, reports NRK. Since Rissaraset in 1978, it is common to map the places where we can find clays, but there has not been any extensive studies in the West of Norway, although geologists believe that there can be considerable dangers in the region.
Management will conduct surveys in six municipalities in Møre og Romsdal and five in Sogn og Fjordane.
In the northwest, Ålesund, Giske, Sula and Sykkylven will be mapped, in addition to Stryn and Eid, said departmental engineer Lars Løkeland Slåke in NVE in Sunnmørsposten.
– This is often a hidden challenge that we do not see in the day, but this can have major consequences if there is a hole in a quick cage pocket. It is important to have knowledge and take action in the foreground to avoid avalanches.says NVE Regional Director Brigt Samdal at NRK.
– We build more in urban areas where we know that there are quick clays. Therefore, we need knowledge to be able to prevent accidents, he says
