About the Conference

The 4th WAIMM annual Geotech Conference provides insight and knowledge into the technical planning, design, operations and monitoring of TSF (Tailings dam) which is a very important component of the mining industry.

The upcoming event is the 4th annual Geotech event and we missed it last year as a result of movement restrictions.

The event would be organized on-line from 17 – 18 October 2022 and the 2 – day event will include sessions on Liner selections, Instrumentation Monitoring, and Management Operations.

The purpose of this two-day event is to provide an exclusive, intriguing opportunity to update your knowledge and skillset on the ‘‘Geotechnical Life-Cycle of A Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) – Planning and Execution’’

By attending this practical distinguished Geotechnical conference, participants will be able to understand and equip themselves with the following technique and information:

• Concept Development – Conceptual design of a mine site, inclusive of a TSF, will allow us to think through and plan all phases of project development.
• Planning and Engineering Phase – Planning for success throughout the lifecycle. 
• Start‐Up Operations – Growing pains and starting on the right foot. 
• Continuing Operations – Standard day‐to‐day operations through much of the lifecycle.
• Change Management – How to plan and execute changes to a TSF.
• Closure – Every piece of the lifecycle should plan for closure.
• Post‐Closure – What next? Closure is not the end of the story.
