The project involved the construction of a 5m upstream TSF embankment raise comprising of >400,000m³ of borrowed and conditioned tailings material, complete with concrete decant structure and spillway. The project included >2km of HDPE pipeline and 100,000m³ rock protection works.
A proactive approach was applied to the works to ensure that tailings deposition could continue throughout construction.
Challenges included water management and managing viable materials to ensure the quality of the embankment was maintained.
BKC worked closely with the site Superintendent to ensure any risks to the project were identified early and mitigated where possible.
