Abstract
The slope instability that endangered seriously the powerhouse of the Aqua Prieta Hydroelectric Project and involved about one million cubic meters of soils and breccias is described. The evolution of the geotechnical instrumentation measurements done from October 1987 to date, the geomechanic analysis performed and the stabilization works are discussed.
