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
Dredge fitted with jetting operating on process pond QLD

Outcome

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