TSF TRAINING DAY – TUESDAY 21 OCTOBER
Build Confidence. Improve Safety. Strengthen Performance.
Tailings Storage Facilities (TSFs) are among the most critical—and high-risk—structures on any mine site. When things go wrong, the consequences can be severe: from expensive remediation and reputational damage to the ultimate risk—loss of life.
The best line of defence? Well-trained personnel.
Join us for a full-day, hands-on training led by Tailcon Director Derrick McKenzie, a Chartered Engineering Technologist (CEngT) with 28 years’ experience in tailings dam design, construction, monitoring, operations and closure. With deep technical knowledge and frontline industry insight, Derrick brings a rare blend of expertise across both executive and operational roles.
This practical training kicks off at Rydges Townsville with an interactive morning session, followed by an on-site visit to Ross River Dam for applied learning in the field. We’ll wrap up the day with informal networking drinks at Waterline, offering the chance to connect with peers and continue the conversation.
