Water Management

Transmin has had some notable success in facilitating integrated site wide water balances.

Site wide water balances for mining operations require inputs and outputs to be coordinated between many areas. The balances change with the seasons and change further with the operation development.

Mining, mineral processing, tailings management, services, community and environmental areas often have trouble getting alignment on frameworks, requirements and projections.

Objectives

    • Reduce capital cost of dams, pipes and pumps
    • Reduce water treatment requirements
    • Simplify operation complexity
    • Ensure compliance
    • Reduce risk

Alignment

      • hydrologists and hydrogeologists
      • mine dewatering and backfill
      • mineral processing
      • tailings engineers
      • environmental and community commitments

Data compilation and validation

      • Steady state balances
      • Stoichastic analysis
      • Dynamic modelling
      • Risk modelling
