Portuguese term or phrase: Conformação (in this sense)
In a description of open pit mines

A operacionalização da Fase Atual não identifica os pontos onde serão feitos aterros, apenas o ajuste dos acessos já existentes, abaixo são apresentadas figuras indicativas dos pontos de aterro e conformação de acessos existentes.

This is followed by a picture of the pit with contour lines entitled Conformação com acesso existente (rampa com 8% de inclinação)
