Soil Solutions has developed a cost-effective and long term solution for the treatment of Mine Tailings Storage Facilities. Dust control on Mine tailings is a necessity in terms of regulating the environmental impact, the effect on neighbouring communities, eliminating risk and liabilities for fines resulting from dust control violations.

OUR VALUE ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS® FOR DUST CONTROL AND REMEDIATION OF MINE TAILING FACILITIES TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THE FOLLOWING:

  • Tailings Deposition Schedule
  • The Direction of Prevailing Wind
  • Buttress, Sides and Slopes, Beach Areas
  • Accessibility
  • Existing Condition
  • Current Erosion Problems

   Mine Tailings Surface treatments with EBS

Surface Treatments on Mine Tailings require an understanding of the structural integrity of the Tailings Storage Facility – this we know and understand what can affect the integrity of the structure. We understand the effects of erosion and overwatering.

  • Once applied will provide effective dust suppression for up to 10 years                                                                                
  • EBS is environmentally safe & easy to apply                                                 
  • PM 10 and PM 2.5 compliant              
  • Will not leach into the water  tables
  • Will not affect the structural integrity of the tailings
  • Is effective on materials with high or low PH levels
  • Will create a crust that will not be affected by rain, wind, or UV rays
  • Will protect the surface from erosion
  • Will  prevent any windblown dust

EBS eliminates the need for expensive maintenance, intensive shade cloth barriers or irrigation systems, no further water use for dust suppression is required.

Having the right equipment available for the application to the TSF allows for faster, more accurate and efficient applications, covering an average of 20 to 30 hectares per day. (20,000 to 30,000 m² per day)
