Landslide Creeps up to Sixteen-Storey Building in Bayil
Baku / 22.05.18 / Turan: As a result of the landslide development in the Bayil settlement of Baku, a threat has appeared to the 16-storey residential building at the address 9 Bukhtinskaya Street.
So the auxiliary building that adjoins the 16-storey building has subsided, the head of the geological planning expedition of the National Geological Exploration Service of the Ministry of Ecology, Aziz Garalov, said.
According to him, the subsidence process has nothing to do with the 16-storey building itself, but it has touched on extensions made in the following years. So, one of the supporting columns of the extension has subsided by 20 cm.
For the regular monitoring of the process, 11 beacons have been installed, which reveal whether there is a landslide.
As noted by Garalov, the cause of the activation of the landslide is the active development of the Bayil slope in recent decades. This territory is already subject to a landslide, and mass construction intensifies the load. -06D--
