Tailings water management, safe, efficient and compliant

Optimize tailings water management for cost-effective protection of communities and the environment

Mining tailings dams must be properly monitored to ensure safety and compliance

Tailings water management is a challenging obligation in many mining operations. Mining gangue pumped into tailings ponds requires constant monitoring to protect the surrounding environment and local residents. Often carried out on site, the control of the multiple necessary parameters such as inlet, water table, neighboring water bodies, and dam level can be a time consuming and error-prone affair. Endress+Hauser offers a comprehensive portfolio for accurate, efficient tailings management.

Comprehensive inlet monitoring

Rigorous tailings management starts at the inlet to tailings ponds. It also goes beyond the monitoring of fundamental inlet parameters such as ore slurry flow. Ore slurry solids content also needs to be measured to monitor tailings pond capacity.

Our expertise in the field

Endress+Hauser technologies provide comprehensive inlet monitoring.

Accurate levels measurement

One of the most critical parameters for the safe operation of a tailings dam is level, not only of the surface water but of the water table beneath the dam. Monitoring surface water levels can give an early indication of a sudden rise due to floods, rain, or ice melt.

Our expertise in the field

Endress+Hauser provides a broad portfolio for accurate and safe tailings dam monitoring.

  • Protect communities and the environment with reliable tailings dam monitoring
