ICOLD Bulletin 194, Tailings Dam Safety, aims to assist the international community to further develop and adopt safe practices for tailings dam planning, design, construction, operation, and closure with a focus on the technical aspects that are mentioned but not fully developed in other recent National and Industry Guidelines and Standards. Governance and human aspects have also been touched on... Read more

Biography

The Commission Internationale des Grands Barrages (CIGB) / International Commission on Large Dams (ICOLD) is a non-governmental International Organization which provides a forum for the exchange of knowledge and experience in dam engineering. The Organization leads the profession in ensuring that dams are built safely, efficiently, economically, and without detrimental effects on the environment. Its original aim was to encourage advances in the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of large dams and their associated civil works, by collecting and disseminating relevant information and by studying related technical questions. Since the late sixties, focus was put on subjects of current concern such as dam safety, monitoring of performance, reanalysis of older dams and spillways, effects of ageing and environmental impact. More recently, new subjects include cost studies at the planning and construction stages, harnessing international rivers, information for the public at large, and financing.
