At the beginning of 2010, construction of a pond-wide coke cap, part of the proposed final cover, was begun. In the two years preceding construction of the pond-wide coke cap, the authors undertook extensive laboratory and field trials of a prototype coke cap.
This paper describes the theoretical and practical work done to formulate a viable and safe coke cap—in effect the cap that is now under construction across almost the entire pond. We describe field testing to characterize the tailings; laboratory testing undertaken to characterize the response of the tailings to planned construction procedure; and two prototype covers constructed in the winters of 2008 and early 2009 to test and confirm theoretical analyses and designs.
