Georadar measurements at the Råbygda landslide site near Orkanger, Orkdal Municipality (February 16th, 2019)

Abstract

On February 16th, 2019 a landslide took place at the Råbygda village just northwest of Orkanger, which resulted in a farmhouse destroyed and one human casualty. As a response to this situation, a multidisciplinary collaboration group was formed tasked to discern and report the causes of the landslide. NVE requested NGU\u2019s involvement in this collaboration and it was decided that a Ground Penetration Radar (GPR) survey should take place to help determine sediment thickness \/ depth to bedrock for the area and additionally suggest suitable geotechnical drilling positions.
