Tailings dams are among the most complex and high-risk structures in mining. Failures can result in catastrophic environmental and social consequences. 
Key challenges include:

✅ Slope stability under different loading and seismic conditions 
✅ Seepage and phreatic surface control to ensure safe pore-pressure distribution 
✅ Staged construction and consolidation effects on long-term dam performance 
✅ Accurate modelling and monitoring are essential for compliance, risk reduction, and sustainable mining practices. 

This 3-day CPD-accredited workshop, jointly hosted with Wits University, aims to equip engineers with: 

➡️Practical skills in modelling tailings storage facilities using MIDAS GTS NX 
➡️Step-by-step guidance on stability, seepage, and staged construction workflows 
➡️Exposure to real case studies from the mining and geotechnical sectors 
➡️Hands-on learning to build confidence in applying FEM for tailings engineering 

By the end of the course, participants will be able to create, analyze and interpret FEM models for tailings dams and related geotechnical structures with greater accuracy and efficiency.
