Process Pond Dredging - Nickel & Cobalt Refinery - QLD
Sediment accumulation within a refinery process pond was impacting storage capacity and water movement, requiring controlled removal within an active processing environment.
Project Overview
Location: Queensland
Industry: Industrial
Asset: Process Pond
In order to begin, a special high pressure jetting bar was mounted to break the sediment and cut an initial trench.
Scope
- Dredging of nickel & cobalt process pond
- Management of overflowing sediment with variable slurry fines across the pond
- Operation within active refinery environment
- Water levels adjusted to support controlled dredging operations
- Removal approach configured to suit site constraints

Outcome
- Recovery of clean water for plant operations
- Restored effective storage capacity
- Improved pond performance and water management
- Maintained continuous operation during works
