Soil Solutions delivers a cost-effective, long-term engineered solution for the treatment of Mine Tailings Storage Facilities.
Effective dust control is critical to reducing environmental impact, safeguarding nearby communities, and meeting increasingly stringent regulatory requirements. Our EBS-based sealing approach goes beyond temporary suppression—creating a durable surface that prevents dust generation at source.
The result is a measurable reduction in health and environmental risks, while eliminating the recurring liabilities associated with dust control failures. This translates into fewer compliance issues, reduced risk of fines, and uninterrupted operations supported by a sustainable, low-maintenance solution.
Our value-engineered solutions for dust control and remediation of Mine Tailings Storage Facilities are designed to deliver long-term performance, cost efficiency, and measurable ESG impact. Each solution is tailored to site-specific conditions, ensuring both environmental protection and operational practicality.
We systematically evaluate:
- Tailings Deposition Schedule – Aligning treatment with operational sequencing to maximise effectiveness and avoid rework.
- Prevailing Wind Direction – Strategically mitigating dust dispersion to protect air quality and surrounding communities.
- Buttress, Slopes, and Beach Areas – Focusing on high-risk zones to control erosion, stop dust, and prevent material loss.
- Accessibility – Designing solutions that are practical to implement and sustainable to maintain under real site conditions.
- Existing Site Conditions – Assessing material composition and variability to develop precise, performance-driven application strategies.
- Active Erosion and Dust Generation Zones – Prioritising critical areas to prevent degradation and deliver immediate, visible impact.
The result is a targeted, engineered approach that transforms tailings into stable, sealed environments—reducing risk, lowering lifecycle costs, and supporting responsible mine closure and community protection.

You Can Make a Difference!
Effective Mine Tailings Management Delivers:
- Reduced Liability – Limits environmental exposure and long-term financial risk by stabilising and sealing tailings at source.
- Regulatory Compliance – Aligns with stringent environmental and operational standards, supporting consistent audit readiness.
- Community Protection – Minimises airborne dust, reduces dust and water contamination , and protects the health of surrounding communities.
- Lower Environmental Footprint – Implements sustainable, low-impact solutions that enhance long-term dust prevention without ongoing intervention.
A proactive, engineered approach to tailings management shifts operations from reactive control to predictable, long-term performance—improving efficiency, strengthening ESG outcomes, and ensuring sustained regulatory confidence.
