Dry stack rainfall simulation test rig
Through advanced rainfall simulation testing, we replicate natural weather events to understand how tailings stacks behave under simulated rainfall conditions and temperature cycling—supporting safe design, regulatory compliance and long-term stability.
We can simulate real rainfall conditions to evaluate how dry stack tailings perform during both regular and extreme rainfall events.
Capabilities include:
- Controlled rainfall intensity
- Erosion and surface stability assessment
- Runoff and infiltration leachate analysis
- Surface sealing and crust formation evaluation
- Sediment transport elemental and solids measurements
This allows engineers and scientists to predict runoff water quality, evaluate erosion risk, optimise cover systems and validate drainage designs.
Geochemic is committed to helping the mining industry transition to safer tailings management practices, providing the scientific data needed to support dry stack tailings design and environmental protection
