Figure5shows a TD abandoned more than 50 years ago, which stores Pb–Zn tailings from a sulphide-rich deposit (Table S-1). Its geotechnical stability has been affected by actions such as the construction of a drainage trench inside the basin and in the dam (Fig.5b–d). Actions that fai...
1C). Centreline, hybrid, and single raise construction methods are the next most common. In-pit/natural landform, and dry-stacked are the least common facility types. Owing to their historical popularity, upstream facilities make-up 43 per cent of facilities that are inactive, closed or ...

Notwithstanding the risk-based design focus, the design nevertheless also achieves a cost-effective solution in utilising the large quantities of available un-mineralised mine rock as its primary construction material. P 10 of 105 OLYMPIC DAM EXPANSION PROJECT Tailings Storage Facili...
Mining companies should be encouraged to rebalance their focus onto the non-technical aspects of TSF risks and the need to fully understand the social, human, environmental and reputational consequences of dam failures.

Traditional methods of soil reinforcement such as chemical grouting and pre-compaction consolidation generally have disadvantages such as high energy consumption, long construction period, high cost and high pollution. Under this background, microbial induced calcium carbonate deposition precipitation (MICP)...
