UAT removes accumulated sediment, mineral sludge and slurry from process ponds and dams across mining and mineral-processing operations. Each project is planned around the material, liner, chemistry, access and operating requirements of the site.
UAT’s published project experience includes gold-mine process ponds, nickel recovery ponds, mineral-sands slimes ponds and red mud settlement ponds in alumina refining. These environments can involve abrasive material, difficult access, plastic liners and active-site controls.
Pond geometry, liner condition, sediment characteristics, water chemistry, access, production schedules and on-site receival arrangements all influence how material can be removed. UAT plans the dredging scope around the asset rather than forcing a standard method into an unsuitable application.
UAT’s role centres on removing accumulated sediment, sludge and slurry from the pond. Where agreed, material can be transferred to a nominated on-site receival point. Downstream treatment, dewatering, reuse, transport and disposal remain under the client’s site arrangements unless expressly included in the project scope.
Australia-wide project capability for plastic-lined, difficult-access and hazardous operating environments, with the dredging method planned around the asset and site controls.
Specialised dredging, desilting and sludge removal for plastic-lined process ponds and dams.
Systems that reduce stratification, improve oxygen transfer and support stable long-term performance.
Share the pond dimensions, liner type, material, access constraints, operating status and required timing. UAT will review the information and identify the next practical step.
