Often, excavations of natural slopes are necessary in the site area for the construction of civil or industrial objectives.

In this context, at the level of 2015, slope stabilization works were designed and executed, works that proved to be insufficient. In 2021, it was necessary to conduct a new stability study in order to analyze the possibilities of continuing the construction of the treatment plant. This paper presents the results obtained during this study, as well as a series of conclusions and interpretations, regarding the technical condition of the slope in different hypotheses.
