Minerals processing produces two main products: a commercial product (concentrate, pellets) and tailings (waste from ore processing). The tailings are stored in a tailings storage facility (TSF), a special hydraulic structure for receiving and storing solid and liquid mineral processing waste. The focus is primarily on ensuring the reliability and safety of these facilities during their design, construction, and operation, as a failure of such structures can have catastrophic consequences.
