| Summary: | The relevance of the work is due to the risks of an uncontrolled increase in circulating water leaks through sides and bed of the dam, caused by thawing of permafrost soils in the Far North. The main aim of the work is to scientifically substantiate a set of engineering measures to reduce filtration consumption and restore and maintain the waterproofing of the tailing dump. The object of the study was the tailing dump of the concentration plant, with adjoining filter walls. The tailing dump has been exploited since 1996; for the last 20 years, circulating water leaks into the shunting tank located below were recorded. Within the water area of the tailing dump and at the landfalls, geophysical surveys were carried out from ice by the TEM (transient electromagnetic) method. The obtained geoelectric sections made it possible to form a holistic view of the structure of the filtration zones in the right and left bank junctions. The data obtained will be used for planning anti-filtration arrangement. |
