In December 2019, the Teneo team successfully completed the installation along the tailings dam wall at Mount Isa Mines, for Glencore. The 1.6km long, 1.5m high dam wall installation was not without its challenges, with the hot weather conditions raising the temperature of the liner to 85 degrees Celsius.
This was the first tailings dam on the Mount Isa Mines site that is lined with a geosynthetic clay layer and high-density polyethylene sheeting.
The project was completed on time, on budget and safely with zero harm.
