This paper addresses a stability evaluation of artificial slopes in a quarry located in Slovenia that was affected by a rockslide in March 2019. In order to ensure the safety of further production, measures were taken to restore the slopes. A stability assessment of the remaining parts of the quarry was conducted. To ensure quality spatial data, an upgraded study based on terrain mapping and aerial photogrammetric imaging using an unmanned aircraft was carried out, in addition to a traditional field survey of the quarry. So that the data were qualitatively useful, a digital terrain and discontinuity model was developed. Projections of the discontinuities occurring in the quarry and in the wider area were determined. The focus of the modeling was finding the main systems of discontinuities and projecting these systems onto the unexcavated parts of the quarry.
