Tailings water management, safe, efficient and compliant
Optimize tailings water management for cost-effective protection of communities and the environment
Tailings water management is a challenging obligation in many mining operations. Mining gangue pumped into tailings ponds requires constant monitoring to protect the surrounding environment and local residents. Often carried out on site, the control of the multiple necessary parameters such as inlet, water table, neighboring water bodies, and dam level can be a time consuming and error-prone affair. Endress+Hauser offers a comprehensive portfolio for accurate, efficient tailings management.

tailings dams exist around the world
How we can help
Covering multiple parameters, Endress+Hauser’s smart instrumentation can consistently send highly accurate and reliable data remotely to a monitoring or control system. In this way Endress+Hauser enables more effective and efficient tailings water management in mining operations.
Inlet, dam and water quality monitoring for population and environmental protection
Highly accurate, robust instrumentation for operation in harsh environments
Remote, real-time monitoring for safe and effective intervention
Applications
Comprehensive inlet monitoring
Rigorous tailings management starts at the inlet to tailings ponds. It also goes beyond the monitoring of fundamental inlet parameters such as ore slurry flow. Ore slurry solids content also needs to be measured to monitor tailings pond capacity.
Our expertise in the field
Endress+Hauser technologies provide comprehensive inlet monitoring.
Rely on a single, smart device for total inlet monitoring
One of the most critical parameters for the safe operation of a tailings dam is level, not only of the surface water but of the water table beneath the dam. Monitoring surface water levels can give an early indication of a sudden rise due to floods, rain, or ice melt.
Our expertise in the field
Endress+Hauser provides a broad portfolio for accurate and safe tailings dam monitoring.
Protect communities and the environment with reliable tailings dam monitoring
Responsible tailings water management entails the monitoring of the quality of surrounding bodies of water to ensure protection of the local population and environment.
Our expertise in the field
Endress+Hauser facilitates this task, offering both stationary and portable sampling stations in full compliance with all relevant national and international standards, such as ISO 5667.
Outfit your sampling station according to your specific requirements
Monitoring tailings dams manually is both time consuming and labor intensive.
Our expertise in the field
Combining wireless, smart devices with a broad range of digital networks, Endress+Hauser makes remote monitoring possible, providing a cost-effective, reliable alternative without compromising security or legal compliance.
With every tailings dam related accident the awareness for tighter controls and legislation rises. With our expertise both in the mining and water industry we can support you in creating a reliable monitoring system for your tailings dams. Our encompassing portfolio not only covers all relevant measuring points but also offers digital connectivity for remote monitoring. This makes the surveillance of your tailings dams more efficient and less time-consuming.
