Tailings storage facilities traditionally require extensive ongoing maintenance: dust control operations, erosion repairs, drainage maintenance, access road upkeep, and compliance monitoring. Soil Solutions’ EBS treatment dramatically reduces or eliminates most of these maintenance requirements.
Traditional TSF Maintenance Burdens:
Dust Control Maintenance: Daily water truck operations, sprinkler system maintenance and operation, chemical suppressant reapplication, and continuous monitoring and adjustment.
Erosion Control: Repair of slopes and beaches after rainfall, regrading of eroded surfaces, drainage channel maintenance, and sediment management.
Surface Integrity: Pothole and rut repairs on access roads, grading and compaction of loose surfaces, and tailings beach reshaping.
All these activities require equipment, labor, materials, and downtime—creating ongoing operational costs and complexity.
How EBS Eliminates Maintenance:
Zero Dust Control Maintenance: After EBS application, dust control becomes maintenance-free for years. No daily watering, no chemical reapplication, no equipment operation, and no labor allocation.
Erosion Prevention: EBS creates water-resistant surfaces that prevent erosion on slopes, beaches, and buttress areas—eliminating erosion repairs and surface restoration work.
Maintenance-Free Track Record:
Mining operations report no dust control maintenance for years after EBS treatment, zero erosion repairs on treated slopes and beaches, no surface restoration work required, continued regulatory compliance without intervention, and dramatic operational cost reductions.
