TSF Engineering

Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) Engineering Services

Tailings pond engineering services cover preliminary design, construction contracting, intelligent monitoring, and operational maintenance. As a highly specialized civil and hydraulic engineering project, tailings ponds directly impact a mine’s compliance, safe production, and ecological risk management.

Currently, TSF projects worldwide face three major challenges

  • Unreasonable design
  • Non-standard construction
  • Inadequate supervision

Xinhai Tailings Storage Facility Engineering Services

  • Survey and Site Selection: Conduct geological and hydrological investigations, provide feasibility assessments, and recommend dam type selection.
  • Engineering Design: In-house design team delivers drawings and construction plans compliant with the latest standards, meeting environmental and safety approval requirements.
  • Construction Management: Dedicated civil and hydraulic engineering teams execute phased construction with real-time dynamic monitoring.
  • Environmental and Regulatory Compliance: Familiar with local policies and procedures; early involvement in preparing environmental and safety evaluation documentation.
  • Operational Support: Guidance on capacity monitoring, dam maintenance, and drainage system operation to ensure long-term safe performance.

We don’t just build tailings ponds—we safeguard the entire life cycle of your mine!

Tailings Storage Facility Construction

Safe, Efficient, and Compliant

Xinhai adopts a systematic approach, implementing refined full-process control over tailings pond construction. Key phases include:

  • Dam Construction

    Clearing the foundation, layered filling, compaction, and anti-seepage treatment to ensure strength and stability.

  • Pipeline and Discharge System Construction

    Installing tailings transport pipelines, spillways, seepage drainage networks, and other critical systems to enable safe discharge and water recycling.

  • Auxiliary Facilities

    Constructing monitoring wells, collection ponds, return water pump stations, and other supporting systems to enhance operational efficiency and safety.

  • Safety Management

    Implementing full-process quality inspection, construction supervision, and on-site safety control to strictly every procedure.
