Beach Profiles define a longitudinal section along a tailings beach.

There are three Profile Types:

•Cyclone profiles which are used for upstream cyclone deposition.

•Sub-aerial profiles.

•Sub-aqueous/General profiles.

Materials use a combination of profiles to define a Complex Profile from the beachhead to the base of the pond.

There are four Shape Models that define the profile shape from its beachhead to its maximum extent:

•Linear

•Defined

•Master (Constant Slope)

•Master (Variable Slope)
