We provide an integrated approach to managing tailings and mine waste for minerals across the full life cycle of TSFs including meeting all standards – GITSM, TSM and others.
Our experienced ground engineering specialists collaborate with our clients to create holistic solutions at any stage of the life cycle of TSFs. This is achieved by developing a thorough understanding of the specific risks and hazards of your site.
Our expertise with tailings includes hydraulically-placed slurry, thickened paste and filtered dry stack operations. Our designs consider the overall site-specific constraints and opportunities for optimal disposal, such as upstream, downstream, centerline, and integrated waste landforms or in-pit disposal.
Agilitus provides multidisciplinary services integrating geotechnical, environmental, civil, hydrogeological, process, pumping and piping, electrical and structural engineering as well as ESG advisory for the successful delivery and management of your TSFs.
We take this one step further, providing education to operate your TSFs and advice for compliance with key standards – the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) and the Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) framework adopted by Mining Council of Australia members.
We partner with specialist organisations to integrate the very best advice, approaches and frameworks into our solutions.
“It remains critical to apply a practical, risk-based approach from concept through to closure in tailings storage facilities and water dams planning to deliver cost effective and sustainable solutions. With a deep understanding of the analysis of geological, geotechnical, geophysical, geohydrological, hydrological, geochemical and seismic risk, supported by strong operational and design experience, and guided by GISTM, we’re delivering safe and sustainable tailings management.”
