Design of automated tailings monitoring systems
Our engineers have extensive experience in designing tailings monitoring systems. We provide clear design solutions for the monitoring system, analyze the relevant risks associated with project deadlines and mining operations, and help clients make informed decisions based on specific needs and risks. Our solutions enable the safe operation of tailings storage facilities even with increased production volumes.
Accounting for long-term development
Flexibility and scalability
Integration with the stages of modernization of the facility
Reducing operational risks
Compliance with regulatory requirements and environmental safety
Economic efficiency
Design stages
The timing of the project depends on the scale of the tailings storage facility, the complexity of the facility, and the individual requirements of the customer. We always coordinate the schedule of work with the customer, taking into account his production plans and key deadlines. We strive to ensure a balance between the quality of design and the speed of execution. On average, the implementation includes the following steps::
Analysis and preparation of the solution
- Discussing with the customer his wishes and needs for the design of monitoring systems.
- Collection and study of initial data on the object: design assignment (if any), plans, hydraulic engineering solutions, geological and geodetic surveys, geotechnical and hydrogeological characteristics of the object.
- Coordination of the developed technical specifications for the design with the customer.
- Coordination with the customer of brands of manufacturers of equipment and materials of automation systems used in the project.
- Receiving tasks from related sections.
Development of a design solution
- Development of an automation scheme.
- Drawing of automation system plans.
- Development of equipment connection schemes.
- Compiling a cable magazine.
- Development of design documentation for control cabinets.
- Development of the structural scheme of the automation system.
- Drawing up specifications of automation system equipment and materials.
- Estimated cost.
Approval and revision
- Support of the automation project in the examination.
- Making changes and adapting documentation to meet specific requirements.
- Obtaining a positive expert opinion.
Final delivery of the project
- Transfer of the complete project documentation to the customer.
- Consultations on further stages of implementation for up to 2 months.
Total average duration: from 1 to 2 months
Our project team consists of specialists in geotechnics, hydrogeology, engineering geology and automation, who work closely with the customer’s experts in structural geology, hydrogeology, hydrology, and tailings. This integrated approach ensures the development of reliable monitoring parameters that allow real-time monitoring of the dam condition, monitoring changes in parameters and predicting potential risks.
The introduction of a monitoring and management system for ground structures will allow us to form a comprehensive vision of the control processes of the tailing dump at all its stages and provide managers and specialists at various levels with information to increase the efficiency of control actions.
