Tailings Dam Inspection App runs structured tailings dam inspections across every site. Inspectors complete forms on a phone or tablet, capture photo and voice evidence on each tailings dam, and raise corrective actions the moment something fails. Managers see tailings dam compliance status, open issues, and performance across every site in real time.
Tailings Dam Inspection App runs a structured tailings dam inspection 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 Inspection 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 Inspection App?
A comprehensive tailings dam inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Inspect tailings dams with structured wall, seepage, and freeboard checks plus evidence capture. Your inspection 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 inspection finding is traceable.
How to Use Tailings Dam Inspection App
A consistent routine keeps tailings dam inspections reliable across every site. Follow these steps to run an effective inspection:
Open the assigned tailings dam template on a phone or tablet and confirm the site, tailings dam, date, and inspector.
Work through each section, marking items pass or fail and recording the condition of the tailings dam.
Attach a photo or voice note for any finding, especially embankment cracking or slumping, high phreatic surface, inadequate freeboard, seepage and piping.
For every failed tailings dam item, raise a corrective action with an owner, severity, and due date.
Sign off the tailings dam form. The tailings dam report generates automatically and syncs to the multi-site dashboard.
What Does a Tailings Dam Inspection Cover?
A tailings dam inspection covers 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. Tailings and geotechnical engineers capture a photo and a reading on each tailings dam point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the tailings dam round off. So every tailings dam record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What Tailings Dam Teams Fix When Inspections Move Off Paper
Tailings Dam work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Tailings Dam Inspection 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
Tailings Dam checks signed off on paper with no proof the tailings dam was actually checked
A tailings dam inspection is ticked off on a paper form. Weeks later someone asks whether the tailings dam was actually checked, and whether embankment cracking or slumping, high phreatic surface, inadequate freeboard, seepage and piping were looked at. Nobody can say for certain the tailings dam passed.
Problem
Tailings Dam checks recorded on paper with no evidence attached
No way to confirm embankment cracking or slumping, high phreatic surface, inadequate freeboard, seepage and piping were actually inspected
Tailings Dam findings re-keyed into a spreadsheet, with errors and delay
Solution
One digital tailings dam form with required fields and validation
Photo, GPS, and timestamp on every tailings dam check
Tailings Dam findings sync to the dashboard, no re-keying
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Tailings Dam Inspection App check on a tailings dam inspection?
Tailings Dam Inspection App runs a structured tailings dam inspection covering embankment crest, slopes, and cracking, phreatic surface and piezometer readings, freeboard and beach width, decant, spillway, and pumps, and seepage, boils, and erosion. Each point is captured on mobile with a photo and a reading, and a named inspector signs the round off before it can close. The same template runs on every site, so tailings and geotechnical engineers work to one standard rather than a version that drifts between locations. Every record proves what was checked, when, and by whom, so the evidence is ready long before an assessor asks for it.
Which tailings dam defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The inspection 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 Inspection App support for tailings dam work?
Tailings Dam Inspection 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 Inspection 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 inspection was completed?
Every completed tailings dam inspection 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.
