Material Hydraulic Properties - A Critical Input for Landform Design

��
�� – ��

�� is fundamental to developing high-quality closure designs for mining landforms and for effectively managing long-term closure risks. �� is a key parameter in understanding how different materials will perform within a cover system, assessing long-term erosion risks on landforms, and optimising on-landform drainage controls.

While �� remains an essential tool for characterising the hydraulic conductivity of materials, it has inherent limitations. Laboratory tests are often constrained by the particle sizes that can be accommodated, and the samples may not always accurately represent in-field conditions.

For instance, �� frequently requires the removal of coarse materials such as cobbles and boulders, which can significantly influence test results—particularly for materials with a low proportion of fines. Additionally, the relatively small size of field samples can make it challenging to capture the full variability of material types present across a landform.

�� , such as the use of a �� , can help address these limitations by directly measuring the hydraulic conductivity of the target material in the field. �� can be conducted rapidly across multiple locations, providing insights into material variability and the effects of different treatments (e.g. heavily compacted versus non-compacted areas).

By �� , including Guelph permeameter measurements, practitioners can develop a more comprehensive understanding of material behavior. �� .

�� The accompanying images illustrate the use of the Guelph permeameter in different material types, as well as Elis Smedley �� Nickolai Nazarov.

Mine Earth’s Dr. Véronique Lévy Co-Authors Paper at ICARD Canada Conference 2024

Thu, 19 Sep 2024 05:26:26 GMT

Mine Earth is pleased to announce that Dr. Véronique Lévy, Senior Principal Geochemist, has co-authored a paper presented at the ICARD conference hosted by the Canadian Institute of Mining in Halifax this week.

The paper, titled "The Importance of Quality Control of Alkalinity Data during Pit Lake Modelling," emphasizes the critical role of alkalinity in acid neutralization and its influence on closure strategies. This research highlights Dr. Lévy's commitment to producing reliable water quality predictions essential for effective site closure.

Additionally, we would like to recognize Dr. Peter Scott, the principal author of the paper, who presented this important work at the conference. Congratulations to all three co-authors for their significant contribution!

Abstract: The Importance of Quality Control of Alkalinity Data during Pit Lake Modelling.
