The Vaudreuil Alumina plants use deep thickeners to prepare their red mud for disposal in a 60 ft. High wet stack. Management of this stack requires four-seasons access to the pipework, and occasional dust suppression procedures. From peak to foothills the stack can display all the phases of fluidity present in the mud. Vaudreuil has developed a family of vehicles to provide the required access from a 25 tonne amphibian to spread gypsum on the mud to control dusting, to a 1.5 tonne tractor-trailer for personnel transport. This paper describes the units in detail, and explains how the characteristics of the mud can be used to give a good load-bearing capacity.
