Abstract
Mining activities related to excavation or landfill will always face problems with slopes, both in the form of working slope and final slope, in addition the groundwater factor in the rock layer increases the burden by filling pores and reducing friction inter-grain influences the slope stability. The slopes must be analyzed for stability to prevent landslide hazards because they involve work safety, equipment safety, and smooth production. PT. XYZ is a coal mining company located in Sungai Lilin, South Sumatra, planning to optimize and stabilize the final slope to a depth of 120 m. Geotechnical drilling has been carried out as many as 3 points with a total depth of 270 m and 80 samples of rock and soil testing. The results of slope modeling using the Limit Equilibrium method, mining can be done up to a depth of 120 m with an angle of 30o and 35o with a dewatering system.
