Assessment of Blast Energy Usage and the Extent of Blast Damage in Hard Rock Open-pit Mines
DownloadFall 2024
Blasting fragmentation influences the cost and productivity of downstream processes such as loading, hauling, crushing, and milling. Interaction between the rock mass and explosive energy determines blast outcomes. This research aims to enhance the understanding of the blasting process by...

Fall 2024
Reclamation of oil sands mines in northern Alberta presents a significant challenge for mine operators, particularly the reclamation of tailings deposits that are produced by the mine waste stream. A proposed approach to reclaiming tailings deposits as upland or wetland landforms is capping which...

Assessing the Potential of Activated Bauxite Residue (ABR) to Remove PFAS in the Water Column
DownloadFall 2024
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) belong to a group of synthetic organic compounds characterized by the substitution of at least one hydrogen atom with fluorine and the presence of other functional groups. Their high thermal and chemical stability makes PFAS resistant to removal and...

Assessing the mobility of metals and dissolved organics in pit-lake models containing PASS-treated fluid tailings
DownloadSpring 2024
Oil sands surface mining produces considerable quantities of fine fluid tailings (FFT). Several reclamation strategies are being investigated to address the environmental concerns related to long-term FFT storage. One promising sustainable tailings management approach is End Pit Lake (EPL);...

Assessing the Effects of Snow and Ice Control Operations: The Interdependency between Weather Variables, Maintenance Operations, Pavement Friction, and Collisions
DownloadFall 2021
An effective winter road maintenance (WRM) program is essential for cities that face severe winter conditions. Snowstorms create slippery road surface conditions (RSC) that disrupt traffic flows and endanger motorists. To combat this, municipalities use a variety of tools to improve the driving...

Assessing The Benefits Of Cost-Effective Monitoring Technology On Unstable Slopes Sensitive To Weather
DownloadFall 2021
Across Canada, the presence of ground hazards, such as rock falls, rock slides, or earth slides, next to transportation corridors, is a potential risk to transport system users, the infrastructure, and traffic operations. Monitoring instrumentation systems tracking unstable slopes are a key...
