Improve Visibility and Control in Tailings Management
Increase safety and reduce environmental impact with advanced monitoring and control
Managing tailings requires accurate, continuous insight into pressure, flow, level, and equipment health. By enabling wireless, real-time data collection and control, operators can proactively detect changes in dam conditions, ensure optimal slurry flow, and keep pumping systems running efficiently. Integrated technologies help reduce the risk of failure while supporting compliance with increasingly stringent industry regulations.
Tailings Dam Solutions in Action
Conditions in tailings facilities can change rapidly. Monitoring flow rates, pressure surges, or pump anomalies as they occur can help mitigate the risks of structural failure and unplanned downtime. With smart, wireless instrumentation and condition monitoring, operators are better equipped to respond quickly, protect workers and the environment, and ensure efficient operation of critical assets.
Maintain Safe and Reliable Slurry Transport
Ensure safe and efficient transport of mining slurry with advanced flow monitoring and control technologies. By optimizing slurry velocity and pressure, you reduce wear and blockages in pipelines, minimize maintenance downtime, and maintain consistent process performance—protecting both equipment and production continuity.
Safeguard Dam Integrity with Continuous Visibility
Maintain the safety and integrity of tailings dams with continuous monitoring solutions that provide real-time data on structural health and environmental conditions. Early detection of anomalies enables faster response to potential issues, minimizing risks and ensuring regulatory compliance—protecting both your assets and surrounding communities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Gain insights into important topics related to tailings dam design, monitoring, and risk mitigation. These frequently asked questions help address safety, regulatory compliance, and operational best practices for managing tailings storage facilities effectively.
Tailings requires effective management just to make the operation work cost-effectively. While the tailings risk is unlikely to affect the actual mining effort; a collapsed tailings dam can destroy the mine’s value, as well as a company’s reputation and license to operate. Wireless tailings dam monitoring can help manage risk and improve safety.
Valves play a critical role in the transportation and the disbursement of tailings. Because tailings are very abrasive and often corrosive, slurry valves used on tailing lines must be able to withstand the changing solids contents in slurries and remain operational for long periods of time. When adding pressure, density, and velocity, tailings transportation becomes an arduous environment for a valve to operate in, and the remote location of many tailings ponds means that reliability and low maintenance are extremely critical since access is inconvenient.
Miners can benefit from implementing condition monitoring solutions for tailings dam pumps to improve their availability.
