Mine Tailings Surface treatments with EBS
Optimized Surface Treatment for Mine Tailings
Effective surface treatments on Mine Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs) require a deep understanding of structural integrity, erosion risks, and the impact of overwatering. Soil Solutions has the expertise to ensure the right application, delivering long-term dust suppression and stability while protecting the environment.
Why Choose EBS for Mine Tailings?
✅ Long-Term Performance – One application provides effective dust suppression for up to 10 years
✅ Environmentally Safe – Non-toxic, non-leaching, and easy to apply
✅ PM 10 & PM 2.5 Compliant – Meets air quality standards for fine particulate matter
✅ Water Table Protection – Will not leach into groundwater
✅ Structural Integrity Preservation – Does not compromise TSF stability
✅ pH Versatility – Effective on materials with high or low pH levels
✅ Durability – Resistant to rain, wind, and UV exposure
✅ Erosion Prevention – Forms a tough, water-resistant crust
✅ Complete Dust Elimination – Prevents windblown dust and airborne contaminants
Eliminate the Need for Costly Maintenance
With EBS Soil Stabilizer, you no longer need expensive irrigation systems, shade cloth barriers, or continuous maintenance. This solution eliminates water usage for dust suppression, making it the most sustainable and cost-effective approach for mine tailings management.
Soil Solutions delivers proven results—ensuring compliance, reducing environmental impact, and enhancing operational efficiency.
Having the right equipment available for the application to the TSF allows for faster, more accurate and efficient applications, covering an average of 20 to 30 hectares per day. (20,000 to 30,000 m² per day)
