Business Intelligence platform helping Tailings Stewardship
Tailings systems are complex systems. We study them for a single operation as well as for entire portfolios of mining companies, within the framework of a Tailings Stewardship Program. A Business Intelligence platform can indeed integrate all data related to climatology, water balance, contaminants, phreatic levels, topographical movements, construction at the front-end of the risk assessment. Indeed a Business Intelligence platform helping Tailings Stewardship to decision making in regards to monitoring and implementation of mitigation constitutes an invaluable help to remain on top of things and ensure seamless results.
Operational strategy and tactical planning can significantly benefit from such a deployment.
If done properly, a Tailings Steward should get a daily update with hundreds if not thousands parameters changes. We display an example of parameter change below. But more importantly Tailings Stewards should be able to drill into the databases and communicate with pre-defined stakeholders on a need to know basis any changes in the risk landscape.
