Development of a geotechnical and hydrogeological model on the sector 6 of the 'Valja Fundata' flotation tailing dump in Majdanpek

Geotechnical and hydrogeological investigations were carried out at the location on the sector 6 of the "Valja Fundata" flotation tailing dump in Majdanpek. The goal of investigations was to define the geotechnical and hydrogeological structure of this part of the tailings dump, as a basis for determining the optimal conditions for overhanging and rehabilitation of the terrain, planned for the landfill expansion. The appropriate geotechnical and hydrogeological terrain models, which will be used as a starting point for further construction and mining design, were developed applying the multidisciplinary geological investigation models.
