Tailings storage facility failures have caused devastating environmental and humanitarian impacts across the globe — and they continue to occur. Join Mark Walden, P.E., P.Eng., a geotechnical engineer and dam breach analysis specialist with 14 years of mining consulting experience, for an in-depth look at Tailings Dam Breach Analysis (TDBA) and its critical role in risk management.
This webinar will cover the fundamentals of TDBA, including how it differs from conventional water dam breach analysis, common failure modes, breach modeling approaches, and key input parameters. Attendees will also learn how inundation mapping, sensitivity analyses, and consequence classification are used to inform emergency response planning, facility design, and regulatory compliance.
Whether you're new to TDBA or looking to deepen your understanding, this session will provide a practical foundation for applying breach analysis as a proactive risk management tool.
