Tailings Dam Audit App turns tailings dam audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each tailings dam against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare tailings dam audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.
Tailings Dam Audit App runs a scored tailings dam audit covering embankment crest, slopes, and cracking, phreatic surface and piezometer readings, freeboard and beach width, decant, spillway, and pumps, and seepage, boils, and erosion, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, tailings dam findings live on paper and in chat. A tailings dam fault such as embankment cracking or slumping slips through. An audit then means rebuilding tailings dam evidence from folders.
Tailings Dam Audit App keeps one record per tailings dam and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each tailings dam finding is tracked to verified closure. Tailings and geotechnical engineers see tailings dam completion and overdue actions across the mining portfolio. Every tailings dam record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
What to Include in a Tailings Dam Audit App?
A comprehensive tailings dam audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit tailings dam operations with weighted scoring, photo evidence, and corrective action tracking. Your audit should include sections for embankment crest, slopes, and cracking; phreatic surface and piezometer readings; and freeboard and beach width, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every audit finding is traceable.
How to Use Tailings Dam Audit App
A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a tailings dam audit:
Open the tailings dam audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
Score each tailings dam against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
Let the app calculate the section and overall tailings dam score so the site is comparable to others.
Raise a corrective action for each failed tailings dam criterion with an owner and due date.
Sign off the tailings dam audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.
What Does a Tailings Dam Audit Cover?
A tailings dam audit scores condition against tailings management standards and statutory dam safety review, checking embankment crest, slopes, and cracking, phreatic surface and piezometer readings, freeboard and beach width, decant, spillway, and pumps, seepage, boils, and erosion, and instrumentation and monitoring records. Each tailings dam finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the tailings dam audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

How Tailings Dam Audit App Scores a Tailings Dam Audit
Step 1
Score Consistently
Weighted criteria are built into the tailings dam audit template.
Step 2
Evidence Every Finding
Auditors attach photo proof for each tailings dam non-conformance.
Step 3
Compare and Act
Scorecards rank sites and failed tailings dam criteria become corrective actions.

What Tailings Dam Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere
Tailings Dam work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Tailings Dam Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Assigned contractor signs off the tailings dam fix, and nobody checks it
A defect on the tailings dam is handed to assigned contractor. A week later the tailings dam defect is marked closed. Whether the tailings dam work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.
Problem
Assigned contractor marks work closed with no verification
Poor tailings dam fixes are only found at the next inspection
No record of which tailings dam partners actually perform
Solution
Closure photo required before any tailings dam action is signed off
Assigned contractor performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
Re-opened tailings dam actions linked back to the original finding
Tailings Dam data is scattered across spreadsheets, photos, and chat
Some tailings dam records sit in Excel, some in a WhatsApp group, some in a folder of photos. There is no single source of truth for the tailings dam, so every tailings dam question takes an hour and three people to answer.
Problem
Tailings Dam records split across Excel, chat, and photo folders
No single trusted version of the tailings dam record
Answering a simple tailings dam question takes hours
Solution
One system of record for every tailings dam check and finding
Every tailings dam photo and action tied to its record
Search any site or tailings dam and get an answer instantly
Every auditor scores the tailings dam audit differently, so sites cannot be compared
One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The tailings dam audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.
Problem
Tailings Dam scoring depends on which auditor showed up
Tailings dam sections get skipped with no record
Tailings Dam scores are not comparable across sites
Solution
Weighted tailings dam criteria baked into the audit template
Mandatory tailings dam sections, so nothing is skipped
Comparable tailings dam scores that roll up across the estate
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Tailings Dam Audit App check on a tailings dam audit?
Tailings Dam Audit App runs a scored tailings dam audit against tailings management standards and statutory dam safety review, checking embankment crest, slopes, and cracking, phreatic surface and piezometer readings, freeboard and beach width, decant, spillway, and pumps, and seepage, boils, and erosion. Each finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the point it fails, then routed to an owner with a deadline. It stays open until a reviewer verifies the fix, so the audit becomes a traceable evidence pack for tailings and geotechnical engineers rather than an ageing spreadsheet. Because scoring is built into the template, two sites assessed by two people produce numbers you can compare fairly.
Which tailings dam defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The audit targets the tailings dam failures that matter most: embankment cracking or slumping, high phreatic surface, inadequate freeboard, and seepage and piping. Left unchecked, a fault such as embankment cracking or slumping can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so tailings and geotechnical engineers fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.
Which standards does Tailings Dam Audit App support for tailings dam work?
Tailings Dam Audit App keeps tailings dam checks aligned to tailings management standards and statutory dam safety review. The photos and readings each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, tailings and geotechnical engineers pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.
Can teams run tailings dam checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Tailings Dam Audit App is offline-first: teams complete tailings dam checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So tailings and geotechnical engineers get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a tailings dam audit was completed?
Every completed tailings dam audit carries crest and slope photo, piezometer reading photo, and seepage photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, tailings and geotechnical engineers can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
