Análisis de la susceptibilidad a deslizamiento en la parte baja de la conducción Labrado – Tuñi

Abstract

This study focuses on analyzing the susceptibility to mass movements in the lower part of the Labrado–Tuñi channel, managed by Elecaustro S.A., a sector that has experienced instability phenomena affecting the water conduction channel located in the area. The general objective of this work is to evaluate the susceptibility to mass movements in the study area and analyze possible mitigation processes. To achieve this objective, a methodology was developed that includes data collection, soil characterization, mass movement analysis, susceptibility mapping, and proposals for mitigation measures. The results of the susceptibility map indicate that the study area has predominantly low to moderate susceptibility to mass movements. However, specific areas with high susceptibility to these movements were identified. In these critical areas, various mitigation techniques were evaluated, such as hydroseeding with native vegetation, planting vegetative barriers, and using geocells. These solutions aim to improve the stability of the terrain and minimize the risks associated with mass movements.
