Abstract: The slope failure mitigation is commonly encountered in the geotechnical engineering. The selection of an optimized cost effective mitigation scheme among the various technically feasible methods and ensuring the long term safety of the mitigated slopes are the aspects that worth further discussing. This paper presents a case history of a slope mitigation project for the oil storage area.The characteristics of the slope failure are described and several feasible slope mitigation methods are also proposed.The selected method is then finalized based on the optimization evaluations.

Key words: Slope Failures, Failure Mechanism, Slope Mitigations
