Tailing dam leak detection

Exposed and covered liner integrity testing at Tailing Dam – Gold mining

A tailings dam is typically an earth-fill embankment dam used to store byproducts of mining operations after separating the ore from the gangue. Stored tailings can be liquid, solid or slurry of fine particles and are usually highly toxic.

Therefore a protection of environment surrounding the tailing dam should be the highest priority. To stop leaking toxic material from tailing dam to its sub-grade and then contaminate the groundwater SENSOR DDS® technology should be used. Testing integrity of sealing layer of a tailing dam after its installation to detect and locate the leaks we use Arc Tester – SENSOR DDS® MIT. For testing geomembrane integrity after placing an overliner (gravel) we use Sensor’s dipole testing kit SENSOR DDS® Mobile.
