Overview

Join Nathan Lee for a comprehensive discussion on tailings dams. 

While water dams primarily focus on storing water, tailings dams serve the critical function of containing waste materials produced during mining operations.

This includes discussions on pore water pressure, shear strength reduction, and CPT liquefaction potential assessments.

In concluding remarks, the talk emphasises the importance of holistic approaches to tailings management that integrate technical expertise, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder engagement. By prioritising safety, sustainability, and social responsibility, the mining industry can mitigate the risks associated with tailings dams and uphold the highest standards of environmental stewardship.

Ultimately, the talk catalyses ongoing dialogue and collaboration to advance best practices and drive positive change within the geotechnical engineering sector.
