Developing an Observation Approach for a Tailings Storage Facility Raise

Dam Stability Technical Talk | Session Room 3 | NOV. 8, 10:25 AM - 10:45 AM, GMT-6

A modified raise approach was developed in response to cracks that developed during the construction of a raise to a tailings storage facility.  

This paper reviews the challenges and limitations at the outset of the project, the approach of operational integrity assessments, and the design modifications implemented that resulted in maintaining the integrity of the dam.
