• The disposals of potash mining are stored on huge heaps with heights up to 200 m and a ground view of more than a square kilometre. The material behaviour of the piled salt is strongly visco-plastic, so that the slopes are moving constantly at slow rates. As the strength of the salt is rate-dependent, structural analysis of the slope stability has to consider the deformations and deformation rates of the slopes as well as the deformation behaviour of the subsoil. Due to the complex material behaviour, the structural analysis is accompanied by an extensive measuring programme, according to the Observational Method. The paper focuses on a high-pressure gas-pipeline situated at the baseline of the slope of a heap with a height of 190 m.
