Tailings Scientist

Tailings Storage Facility Safety, Surveillance, and Compliance. Tailings Scientist is the tailings module of the platform. It manages a TSF across its lifecycle: the facility register, deposition and beach capacity, instrument surveillance (piezometers and survey monuments), stability and factor-of-safety tracking, pond water balance, and a risk and compliance register aligned to dam-safety governance. It brings tailings monitoring onto the same governed foundation as the ground engineering and mine-water behind it, so the dam and the ground it stands on are one dataset.

A module of the platform

Tailings Scientist runs on the shared geoscience foundation

Tailings Scientist is one module of the SpatialTechSolutions AI-powered mining geoscience platform — sharing the same governed data foundation, map, certified compute layer, and AI layer as the resource, planning, ground, water, and GIS modules.

Enterprise evaluation

A production evaluation should prove technical fit, governance, deployment model, data readiness, and workflow value before procurement.

Deployment fit

Review cloud, self-hosted, ArcGIS-connected, and open-source GIS integration options before implementation.

Governance model

Validate authentication, data access, audit logging, and review controls with technical stakeholders.

Workflow proof

Walk through the Tailings Scientist workflow end to end — from governed data in to the deliverable out — with validation, governance, and provenance checked at each step.

Adoption plan

Define users, training needs, rollout sequence, success metrics, and implementation responsibilities.
