Mina Morelos

Project Highlights:

  • Investigación Geotécnica

Tierra Group diseñó e implementó un plan de monitoreo de estabilidad y seguridad para las instalaciones del depósito de relaves (TSF, por su sigla en inglés) filtrados de la mina Morelos de Torex Gold.  El plan de monitoreo incluyó la instalación de inclinómetros y piezómetros de cuerda vibrante, y el entrenamiento de personal de operaciones para descargar las lecturas de la instrumentación. Tierra Group analizó los datos obtenidos de la instrumentación, desarrolló Reportes de Monitoreo trimestral, desarrolló análisis de estabilidad de taludes e inspecciones anuales para garantizar la seguridad y estabilidad estructural de las 14,00o tpd (últimamente) de relaves filtrados en Guerrero, México.
