The Tailings Deposition Module provides a sophisticated environment to model all stages of Tailings Storage Facility development, including:

•Conceptual Tailings Storage Facility Design;

•Detailed Tailings Storage Facility Design; and

•Tailings Storage Facility Operation.

Following design, use the Dam Breach Module to assess the zone of influence of potential dam breach scenarios.

To activate theTailings Deposition Module use the Module Selector.

Tailings Deposition features include:

•Tailings flow down valleys and around obstacles

•Tailings deposition to specified elevations and/or tonnages

•Upstream, centreline, or downstream deposition

•Cyclone deposition, including:

oUpstream; and

oDownstream and Centreline cyclone deposition

•Deposition from:

oDeposition nodes

oDeposition lines

oDeposition paths

•Deposition points/vectors that move in space as they are raised

•Non-linear beach profiles

•Complex beach profiles comprising:

oCyclone profiles

oSub-aerial profiles

oSub-aqueous profiles

•Supernatant pond modelling

•Multiple Material support

•Target and maximum deposition tonnages

•Automatic and manual deposition modes

You can view deposition raise surfaces following a deposition model run.
