Dry Stacked Tailings
Using Secure Stacked Dewatering Containers
Discover how Secure Stacked Dewatering Containers (SSDC) revolutionise tailings management. Join us in implementing safer, cost-effective, and sustainable practices for small mine waste operations
We are global entity dedicated to promoting safe and sustainable tailings management for small to mid-sized mining operations worldwide. Our focus is on advocating for geotextile dewatering containers to replace traditional tailings dams, reducing risks and ensuring long-term benefits.
SSDCs use passive, low-pressure dewatering from geotextile containers and offer low CAPEX costs for rapid mine development and approvals.

Benefits
Secure Stacked Dewatering Containers (SSDCs), otherwise known as geotextile dewatering containers, offer a comprehensive and safe alternative to traditional tailings management methods.
Cost-Effective
Efficiency Boost
Switching to SSDCs can result in lower operational costs and simplified waste management processes, but typically only for small to medium tailings facilities producing <500,000 dmt per annum.
Environmentally Friendly
Eco-Conscious Practices
Compared to tailings dams, geotextile containers help recover more water, promoting sustainability in mining operations. Theyalso minimise bulk earthworks for impounded tailings dams.
Safety First
Risk Reduction
Geobags reduce large-scale impoundment risks, offering a safer and more secure stacking solution. Potential container ruptures are confined to 2000cum or less, and that risk only exists during the initial 2-week drying period. This risk is significantly reduced from traditional impounded tailings, which retain embankment failure and liquifaction risk for years.
