Tailings Dam Infrastructure for Glencore in Mt Isa

Two massive pump pontoons, each based on 20 foam filled modules were custom designed and built to suit Glencore’s requirements of holding a 12000kg staic load each with a 1.5 buoyancy.

The pontoons were joined with elastomeric hinges and finished with the Edge III powder coated aluminium handrail system plus an access gantry.

The 32m floating access walkway was built from the Superior Modular Docking range with the Edge I handrail system, including kickrails. Several pipe floats were also used for this tailings dam project.
