We operate a NATA accredited testing laboratory in Melbourne, to carry out specialised procedures with mine tailings and slurries. We also have an extensive suite of in-situ testing and investigation techniques, as well as a range of leading software packages for the analysis and design of tailings storage.

Over the years, Australian Tailings Consultants has developed close working relationships with experts in allied fields such as seismic risk studies, testing for liquefaction analysis, and geochemical testing.

As we continue to stretch the boundaries of our professional knowledge, Australian Tailings Consultants remains focused on delivering the right solutions for our clients.
