Nowadays, urgency is given to the questions, connected with development of potassium enterprises` waste disposal technologies, which allow to decrease the number of territories, used for their placement. Specialists from «Belgorkhimprom» JSC designed the pilot construction site project for usage of worked out slime storage of the third Mine group into a base for expanded salt burrow. According to this decision, a halite waste layer is preliminary formed directly on the whole surface of slime storage. As a result of consolidation process, halite wastes are transformed into solid half-rock, which covers the territory of slime storage as a salt plate. According to this, the salt burrow, which technology and height depends on the salt plate’s bearing capacity, is formed on the prepared salt plate. Salt plate condition control must be performed within all construction stages. Application of geophysical methods is required along with visual and instrumental control methods, which include topographical and engineering geological surveying. Results of the carried out researches of wave-built salt plate study have shown the high informativity of chosen geophysical methods. During the researches, the most efficient geophysical methods of wave-built plate were highlighted, together with maximum target resolution and accuracy of used methods. Usage of complex of geophysical methods shows high reproducibility and unlocks new opportunities for usage of these methods for research of massif, constructed by industrial halite subsoil.
