Auditoría de embalse de relaves de la mina Robinson

Antes de unirse a Tierra Group, nuestro equipo completó una auditoría de depósito de relaves de terceros. La auditoría incluyó la revisión de los procedimientos operativos, el monitoreo, el diseño y la planificación futura del almacenamiento de relaves. Produjo un informe de auditoría para uso interno de la empresa. (Tecnología Tetra, 2008)

Estudios de compensación

Tierra Group completó un estudio de compensación para evaluar la elevación de la instalación de almacenamiento de relaves (TSF) existente o la construcción de una nueva TSF. Se desarrolló una Matriz de Decisión de Alternativas (ADM) utilizando parámetros cualitativos y cuantitativos ponderados para evaluar las dos opciones. Se realizó una visita al sitio para comprender las prácticas operativas y los desafíos que informan el desarrollo de ADM. Tierra Group trabajó en colaboración con los equipos ambientales y de operaciones de relaves para garantizar que las evaluaciones de la opción de expansión de TSF incluyeran el conocimiento institucional de los miembros del equipo "botas sobre el terreno".

Revisión del diseño de expansión de TSF 2022

Tierra Group revisó un diseño de expansión de TSF preparado por otros. La revisión de terceros tiene como objetivo garantizar el cumplimiento de las normas y las mejores prácticas de la industria para el diseño de presas de relaves de la División de Recursos Hídricos de Nevada (NDWR) y la División de Protección Ambiental de Nevada (NDEP). El diseño incluyó una elevación de la línea central de un terraplén de arena de ciclones existente, elevaciones de terraplenes de tierra existentes y la expansión de un área de retención de agua revestida con geosintéticos (Barge Operating Channel).
