Experience

Geotechnical investigations (geological mapping boreholes, costeans and testpits) for the proposed 370km railway line and infrastructure at West Angelas and Cape Lambert.

Project reviewer for the Tailings Storage Facility designed by others. Gaps in the design identified and recommendations provided for improvements to the design. Scoping study for redesign of the TSFs.

Extensive tailings testing programme for tailings from the magnetic separation and calcine tailings circuits; Design of TSF; Liaison and site visits during construction to monitor the progress of the works; Co-ordination of fieldwork, laboratory test work and preparation of factual and evaluation reports, technical review and client liaison.

Advice on design concepts (start up through to closure), operation, audits, inspections, management reviews, advice on seepage, stability, tailings deposition, water recovery and preparation of tailings disposal strategy plans.
