We design and optimise tailings storage facilities, prioritising structural safety, storage efficiency and business continuity. We specialise in resolving the industry’s most demanding geographical, seismic and climatic challenges, guaranteeing the physical and chemical stability of structures throughout their life cycle. In this way, we minimise operational risks and optimise the economic viability of the mining asset.

• Design of tailings storage facilities (TSFs) at every stage, from conceptual, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies through to detailed engineering.
• Alternatives studies, siting and site selection for TSFs.
• High-density tailings engineering: thickened, filtered and paste tailings.
• Solid–liquid separation systems: thickener sizing, filter evaluation, cyclones and optimisation of vibrating screen technology.

• Predictive estimation of beach slope and modelling of deposition behaviour.
• Preparation of operating manuals (OMS) and Emergency Preparedness and Response Plans (EPRP).
• Design of closure and post-closure plans and strategies, financial optimisation of closure costs (Asset Retirement Obligation – ARO) and technical audits (Due Diligence).
• Landform reconstruction design for erosion control using specialised software (SIBERIA and Carlson Natural Regrade).
