Any processing plant is variable in its daily operation and tailings properties can change from original design parameters. With our field and engineering experience, Tailpro have the ability to review, optimise and consult mining companies how to reduce their operational tailings handling costs as well as review their tailings storage risks through onsite audits.

Tailpro also provides independent Support Services as part of the Client Team to be able to advise in the current operation and future design of their tailings handling systems. Turnkey solutions can be provided to manage external consultants and vendors on behalf of the client team.
