New method is proposed to accelerate the process of tailing slurry consolidation. The time needed to consolidate certain amount of tailing slurry will depend on the distance that the water has to travel to be drained. By reducing this distance by means of embedded drainage systems, it will accelerate the consolidation process. In addition, the stability of the tailing will also increase due to the negative pore water pressure generated in the tailing media. Furthermore, the environmental risk and liabilities associated with the tailing potential seepage will be reduced by implementing the new approach.
