Help Or Hindrance? The New Guidelines for Tailings Management According to a study published in Engineering Geology in 2022, a total of 257 tailings dam failures have been recorded since 1915, accounting for 2,650 fatalities and the release of 250 million cubic metres of contaminated waste into the environment. Notably, almost half of that waste — roughly 115 million cubic metres — has been released since 2000. Oliver Gray https://lnkd.in/gZxnDsym #Tailings  #tailingsdam #tailingsstoragefacility #TSF

Innovation In Tailings Dam Embankment Construction Using Residue Filled Geosynthetic Tubes – HUESKER Group HUESKER Australia Pty Ltd With special regard to the high risks arising from the treatment of inert as well as contaminated mine residues the long-term functionality of a basin and its embankments is of a high importance. Over many decades geosynthetics have been used successfully for capping slurry lagoons due to their reinforcing and/or separation functions. MORNE BREYTENBACH, M.

A New Approach to Enhancing Tailing Dam Safety and Simplifying The Insurer Reporting Process – Marsh Insurance More than a third of all tailings dams are at high risk of causing catastrophic damage to local communities, economies, and ecosystems if they collapse. The most frequent causes of incidents are earthquakes, overflow, and landslides. Tailings aren't a predictable as a building material and are often waterlogged. The prevention and mitigation of tailings facility failures play an important role in minimizing the possibility of an incident occurring.
