Slope Stabilisation and Rehabilitation
Penang Hill Corporation (PHC), sebagai penjaga Bukit Bendera Penang, bertanggungjawab untuk melestarikan dan memelihara ekosistem semula jadi kita dengan kesan alam sekitar yang minima. Sepanjang tahun-tahun tersebut, cuaca buruk, hujan lebat, dan hujan sesekali telah menyebabkan tanah runtuh yang tidak dapat dielakkan di pelbagai tempat di Bukit Bendera Penang. PHC memastikan pemangkasan pokok secara berkala untuk melindungi ribuan pengunjung harian daripada dahan yang terjatuh. Pasukan penyelenggaraan bukit dengan segera membersihkan halangan demi keselamatan penduduk, pengunjung, dan pendaki. Semasa keadaan cuaca buruk, pendaki dinasihatkan untuk mengelakkan aktiviti mendaki dan mengambil langkah berjaga-jaga untuk memastikan keselamatan mereka.
Sejak tahun 2017, tanah runtuh telah dikenal pasti, direkodkan, dan dikukuhkan di kawasan sekitar Bukit Bendera Penang. PHC telah mengambil langkah segera untuk melaksanakan kerja mitigasi lereng, pemantauan berkala, dan menilai kestabilan lereng tanah. Lereng yang runtuh telah dibaiki dan diperkuat melalui kerja-kerja pemantapan lereng kekal menggunakan teknik soil nailing, dinding penahan, dan peningkatan sistem perparitan. Penyelenggaraan lereng yang diperlukan dilakukan secara berkala untuk memastikan lereng adalah stabil.
From 2018 until 2021, more than 20 slope stabilization projects covering over 100 landslide locations have been repaired around Penang Hill. In 2022, slope repair work included continuously upgrading the slope maintenance and monitoring system to be more systematic. Regular slope maintenance is essential for all hill slopes classified with topographic survey plans to define local features such as slips and man-made slopes or structures. Slope data is recorded in the Slope Maintenance Manual Form issued by the Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) “Slope Maintenance Guidelines in Malaysia, Slope Engineering Branch, JKR Malaysia, August 2006.”
One of the locations, the surrounding area of Edgecliff bungalow has been stabilized and reinforced using a soil nailing system, and the drainage system has been upgraded to enhance the safety of the vicinity around the building. This initiative aims to preserve the existing hillside area, ensuring its safety for visitors to Penang Hill. The proposed development for the Edgecliff Bungalow to be converted into a visitor gallery, was officially launched on 8 July 2022 as the Penang Hill Gallery@Edgecliff. The Edgecliff Bungalow is a state-owned category II heritage bungalow which now houses exhibits and artifacts on the biodiversity, heritage, cultural and funicular of Penang Hill.

During adverse weather conditions, hikers are advised to avoid hiking and take precautionary measures to ensure their safety.
PHC has regularly carries out slope mitigation works, periodic monitoring and evaluating the stability of soil slopes. Any collapsed slopes will be repaired and reinforced through permanent slope strengthening works using soil nailing, retaining walls, and the upgrading of the drainage system. Necessary slope maintenance will also be carried out regularly to ensure stability.
