RGC: Seepage Control - 04/96
Seepage Control in Tailings Impoundments
and Waste Rock Piles
Consulting and engineering services are provided for all aspects of
seepage characterization and control in tailings impoundments. This
includes: site investigation by drilling or test pits as well as borehole
testing; modeling of infiltration and seepage using state-of-the-art
modeling tools; analysis, designs and report preparation.
Typical projects include:
- characterization of seepage behavior of tailings and tailings pond
- prediction of phreatic surface under various operating
conditions (including high run-off events)
- designs of seepage control systems with due consideration to dam
stability and water quality
- prediction of fine tailings consolidation using non-linear finite strain theory
Modeling seepage from Tailings Impoundment into underlying valley aquifer,
Rose Creek Tailings, Yukon Territory.
Examples of typical projects include:
