SRK is the Engineer of Record (EoR) for the tailings management area (TMA) and 14 water management structures at New Gold’s Rainy River mine. This site is at the forefront of innovation in instrumentation monitoring, employing over 500 instruments for dam monitoring. These instruments are integrated with data loggers, telemetry, and advanced GIS platforms.
The project includes exciting technical challenges, for example, designing dam raises on weak, compressible soils, conducting finite element modeling, developing closure concepts, and planning TMA expansions.
Our team leads TMA construction programs in collaboration with engineers and technologists from Tulloch Engineering who assist with construction QA/QC. A key part of this successful project is the partnership approach between the EoR team and New Gold, which enables optimized designs and faster turnarounds, providing solutions that are ready for implementation.
