Comprehensive Tailings Storage Dam Design & Construction in Western Australia
Whether you need a new dam or wish to expand an existing structure, our design and construction services are tailored to meet the specific challenges of Western Australia's diverse environments. Our approach includes:
-
We assess the site's geological and hydrological characteristics alongside a financial analysis to create cost-effective and robust solutions. This ensures that our designs are both practical and economically viable.
-
A comprehensive water balance is crucial for efficient tailings management. We evaluate water usage, recovery, and recycling strategies to optimise the overall operation while conserving resources.
-
Western Australia's rugged terrain often requires specialised rock excavation techniques. Our team is skilled in handling complex and challenging rock excavation projects, ensuring precision and efficiency without compromising safety.
We use advanced drilling, blasting, and mechanical equipment to remove rock formations, paving the way for construction projects such as foundations, tunnels, and reservoirs. Whether dealing with soft sedimentary layers or hard granite, we provide tailored solutions that minimise disruptions to nearby areas.
-
Through meticulous analysis, we identify and mitigate potential risks, ensuring your facility remains safe and compliant.
-
Preparedness is key. We develop emergency response plans tailored to your dam's specific risks, ensuring a swift and effective reaction to any potential issues.
-
From construction through operation, we provide ongoing monitoring, management, and quality assurance. This guarantees that your tailings storage facility performs reliably under varying operational conditions.
-
When your dam reaches the end of its life cycle, we manage decommissioning and closure with a focus on environmental sustainability. Our land restoration services aim to return the area to a stable and natural state, minimising long-term environmental impact.
