Red Mud Pond Dredging Project – QLD
UAT completed dredging and slurry transfer works within an active alumina refinery in Queensland, removing red mud sediments from a settlement pond while maintaining liner protection and environmental management requirements.
Project Overview
Location: Queensland
Industry: Alumina Refining
Asset: Red Mud Settlement Pond
UAT delivered dredging, screening and slurry transfer works to remove accumulated red mud sediments while operating within an active refinery environment and maintaining discharge management requirements.
Scope
- Removal of accumulated red mud sediments from refinery settlement pond
- Slurry transfer to site neutralisation infrastructure
- Screening and collection of oversize material during dredging
- Management of suspended solids near monitored discharge areas
- Protection of pond liner and slurry transfer systems
- Dredging completed while maintaining active pond operation
Outcome
- Transfer of red mud slurry to site processing requirements
- Reduced accumulated sediment within the pond system
- Maintained active refinery pond operation during works
- Maintained environmental monitoring and discharge management requirements
- Protected liner systems and slurry transfer infrastructure
- Minimal disruption to ongoing refinery activities
