EcoE is currently executing the feasibility design phase as the appointed EPCM partner and Engineer of Record (EoR) for a leading gold mining client within their 𝐓𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.

Our focus is to support the client’s TSF operations by enabling 𝐦𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐦 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐩𝐮𝐭, using a holistic, end-to-end engineering approach across the full tailings value chain, from plant discharge and slurry tanks, through pumping and pipelines, to deposition control at the TSF and return-to-plant interfaces.

In this feasibility phase (which is followed by our previous scoping phase), we are defining and de-risking the upgrade scope to support budget allocation, strengthen operational control and flexibility, the scope includes:

• Ring main enablement (aligned to the TSF raising and deposition strategy)
• Slurry pipeline and pump station upgrade options (tie-ins, valve strategy, pressure ratings, and constructability)
• Pump station alterations to improve backfill and TSF split control, redundancy, and operational flexibility
• Data-driven verification to inform the design basis (including electrical logging and accurate tie-in planning)
• A feasibility-level CAPEX/OPEX basis to support an informed investment decision and implementation phasing

Proud to partner with the client team to convert operational requirements into a practical, implementable engineering scope, built for real site conditions and long-term performance.
