Deconstruction of an Upstream Raised Tailings Storage Facility: Project Design and Execution

Event - Vancouver, Canada

This presentation explains a project in Mexico where they took down a Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) and moved about 145,000 cubic meters of materials. A "digital twin" was used for planning and employed standard equipment to move the materials, and had to adapt as they encountered various challenges during the deconstruction.
