Mutange Slope

Mutange Slope, a naturally unstable area spanning 350 thousand m², is undergoing stabilization and drainage works. The old buildings are being replaced by a green space that will not only contribute to land stabilization but also expand the green area of Maceió.

For safety reasons, Mutange Slope — along with the protection area around the salt wells — was the first to be evacuated as a precaution. The families who lived in the area were supported by the Financial Compensation and Relocation Support Program and vacated their properties by April 2020.

The area stabilization project began with the demolition of unoccupied properties, which took place between January and December 2022.

The stabilization project also involves earthmoving activities to soften the slope's inclines. A new drainage system is being implemented and integrated into the existing infrastructure.

To establish vegetation cover, the hydroseeding technique is being used, combining plants that help stabilize and protect the land while improving soil health. Additional actions to enhance the vegetation cover may be undertaken in the future.

To facilitate simultaneous work at different points, the approximately 350 thousand m² area has been divided into sections.
