This paper analyzes the stability of the slope near a stream in Orlova district. The instability of the slope has a negative impact on a hot water pipeline located in the crown of the slope. The assessment is based on a survey of the current state of the slope, and mathematical models in two cross sections. Mathematical models were developed in software Plaxis 2D based on finite element method (FEM). The results of mathematical models allow locating the critical slip surface in the slope, to predict the unstable areas and possible negative effects of a potential landslide in the hot water pipeline.
