Pond & Dam Dredging for Plastic-Lined Process Ponds

Sediment, sludge and slurry removal solutions for plastic lined process ponds and dams in mining and industrial environments.

Designed to operate in direct contact with lined surfaces without compromising the integrity of the asset.

Restoring Capacity & Performance

All ponds and dams lose capacity over time due to sediment build-up. In plastic lined systems, removal must be controlled to protect the liner while restoring storage capacity and maintaining operational performance.

UAT is a trusted partner on numerous mining and industrial sites where process ponds and water storage systems require ongoing sediment management to maintain performance and capacity.

Designed for Lined Ponds & Dams

Conventional dredging and excavation methods are often unsuitable for plastic lined ponds due to access constraints and the risk of liner damage. UAT systems avoid aggressive mechanical components and utilise configurations designed to protect the liner while enabling effective and controlled sediment removal.

Supporting systems such as our baffle and silt curtains can also be used to improve sediment control and flow behaviour within the pond.

Sediment, Sludge & Slurry Removal

UAT delivers tailored dredging and desludging solutions for plastic lined process ponds and dams, enabling efficient removal of accumulated sediment within active operating environments.

Built for Continuous Operation

Systems are designed to operate without draining ponds or interrupting site operations, enabling ongoing sediment management while maintaining process continuity.

Adapted to Sediment Conditions

Solutions are configured to manage a range of sediment types, from soft organic sludge to semi-compacted mineral slurries, depending on site conditions and operational requirements.

UAT is capable of working through the entire range on the pH scale - pH 0.1 through to pH 14.
