Tailings source.
Process stream, particle size, solids concentration, chemistry and any known variability.
Tailings stack feasibility
Define the inputs for the proposed stack.
Use this checklist to prepare a discussion about geobag tailings stacking with Kontain. Record the available material, site, geometry and operating information; the project assessment determines suitability.
Start with six input areas.
The next step may be representative tailings testing, a base-platform assessment or a proposed tier layout. Knowing what is missing makes the stack feasibility discussion more useful.
Your selections stay in this page until you leave or reload. Continuing to Kontain passes the selected status into its enquiry form; you can review it before submitting.
“Available for review” means you have information to discuss. It does not mean the information is adequate, validated or accepted for design.
Prepare for a project discussion
Your discussion checklist
Use the checklist to record what is available and what still needs work.
Useful first information
Send what you already have.
A site plan, proposed storage capacity, tier concept, tailings test results and production basis are useful starting points. Include the available footprint and water pathway.
Available area.
Survey, footprint, ground conditions, liner requirements, drainage and access.
Production and timing.
Dry tonnes, flow, pumping arrangement, working hours and the programme.
What needs solving?
New storage, staged expansion, reclaim, wet handling, water recovery or closure.
Bring the tailings stack to Kontain.
Share the tailings data, storage demand, available footprint and programme. Kontain can help work through the stack concept, material selection and agreed design scope.
