SRK designed a stabilizing buttress for the main embankment of a tailings storage facility (TSF) at La Ciénega mine, 206 km northwest of Durango, Mexico. The design meets stability and freeboard criteria, supported by site characterization and piezometer installation, following best practices and international standards. Construction, which began in 2021, is organized in three stages to align with operational needs and budget. The final stage, now underway, includes surface water management and long-term stability into closure. SRK has provided support through field observation during construction and operations.
