AI Technical Summary
Open-pit tailings are prone to instability during the rainy season due to groundwater infiltration, which can trigger geological disasters such as landslides and debris flows. Current technologies, which mainly involve seepage prevention treatment below the tailings, are insufficient to solve this problem.
Seepage wells are evenly distributed on the tailings pile, with the lower end of each well extending to the bottom. Groundwater is collected and discharged through a seepage pipe and suction pipe system. Combined with a support structure and sealing structure, rainwater seepage is prevented. Seepage outlets and ventilation pipes are provided to ensure stable operation of the system.
Effectively draining groundwater from tailings prevents geological disasters, reduces environmental pollution risks, and ensures the stability of tailings piles.
