From Failure Modes to Effective Trigger Levels – A Practical Approach for Tailings Dam Monitoring

This short course provides a structured framework for identifying failure modes in tailings dams and translating them into effective monitoring and trigger level strategies. Participants will gain practical knowledge on assessing failure mechanisms, selecting appropriate instrumentation, and establishing trigger levels to enhance dam safety and risk management. The course will combine theoretical insights with interactive workshops, focusing on real-world applications for tailings dams with complex failure mechanisms, such as upstream-raised facilities.
