Leach Pad Projects and Geogrid Applications Heap leaching is used at many mining sites to extract precious metals and copper compounds from ore. The mountains of mineral ore are loaded onto a leach pad which is lined with impermeable clay or geomembrane liner. The ore is then sprayed with a leach solution so the valuable metals are dissolved. This solution then percolates all the way through the heap and into collector pipes. Significant amounts of ore are required to produce the precious metals that are the end result of the process which means that the pipes experience very high loads. Tensar...

Achieving Safer Working Platforms over Weak Subgrades Cranes, piling rigs and other heavy equipment require a working platform to operate safely and with controlled accuracy. Frequently, these operations have to take place over weak subgrades. Tensar mechanically stabilised layers help to increase the bearing capacity by spreading the load. Tensar ® mechanically stabilised layers can provide the required performance for working platforms necessary in the surface mining industry. Case Study: Lee Moor Crushing Plant, Plymouth, UK In order to install a very large crushing and washing plant, Imerys...
