The TailPro Resource was developed alongside the PhD thesis, "An expert management system for surface tailings storage", submitted by Jonathan Engels in the Department of Mining, Quarry and Mineral Engineering at the University of Leeds, UK.

TailPro is an interactive tool aimed to improve tailings management and is designed to be used by industry, regulators, designers and operators involved with tailings storage. These four disciplines have their own unique working topics and discussions that give guidance and identify key parameters that essentially target particular considerations of a disciplines role in tailings management. Weakness identification as well as various potential solutions are also discussed when dealing with certain critical parameters and management techniques.
