Design and Management of Tailings Storage Facilities

Feasibility study, detailed design, and construction supervision of the Tucano gold project

From 2010 to 2015 SRK undertook the feasibility study, detailed design, and construction supervision of the Tap D in-pit tailings facility for the Tucano gold project in Brazil. After advising the client on the efficient operation of the facility to maximise in-pit tailings occupation, SRK designed and prepared construction documentation for the West Pond and the North Mill Pond above-ground tailings storage facilites. Both facilities are currently under construction, with SRK providing technical support to the site personnel and contractors responsible for construction.
