Tailing pond underground diaphragm wall grooving and quincunx curtain grouting synergistic process
By employing a combined process of trenching for anti-seepage walls and plum blossom-shaped curtain grouting in tailings ponds, the problem of incomplete sealing of tailings pond leakage was solved, achieving effective blocking of pollution plumes and long-term stable control of hydrological conditions, thus improving the adaptability and safety of the anti-seepage system.

AI Technical Summary
Existing tailings dam seepage prevention and control measures are inadequate in situations with shallow overburden on weathered bedrock, complex seepage paths, and frequent water level fluctuations. They are difficult to implement, have poor hydraulic control effects, and are not thorough in sealing seepage. In particular, in old tailings dams, the original seepage prevention system may not have been installed or may have aged and failed. Pollution plumes can easily break through the curtain or bypass the boundary of the flow wall, causing secondary pollution.
The process employs a combined technique of trenching underground anti-seepage walls and plum blossom-shaped curtain grouting. By implementing curtain grouting in the lower area of the anti-seepage wall, a continuous curtain anti-seepage layer is formed using a multi-row sequential hole arrangement. An overlap area is set between the anti-seepage wall and the curtain grouting body. Combined with an online water level monitoring and groundwater level control system, an intelligent and dynamically adjustable prevention and control system is formed.
It improves seepage prevention and sealing performance, adapts to complex geological structures and hydraulic conditions, reduces leakage risk, effectively blocks pollution plumes and achieves long-term stable control of hydrological conditions, thereby enhancing the environmental safety benefits of tailings ponds.
