Abstract Occasional deep-seated flowslides in coking coal stockpiles at the North Queensland port of Hay Point are described. The flowslides result from particularly loose placement of the light, cohesionless material, and saturation of the lower levels of the stockpile due to rainfall infiltration and initial moisture at placement. Consolidated undrained triaxial testing has been used to define the density/stress conditions at which liquefaction occurs. The flowslide mechanism, field verification and preventative measures are briefly discussed.
