Project Overview

  • Location: Western Australia
  • Industry: Mining
  • Asset: Process Water Pond
Sediment accumulation within the pond was impacting water circulation leading to uneven sediment distribution and declining system performance.

Scope

  • Sediment removal from process pond
  • Management of accumulated fines and settled material
  • Highly saline sediment limited traditional dredging methods
  • Operation within active mining environment
  • Controlled dredging approach suited to site constraints

Outcome

  • Improved water movement within the pond
  • Immediate restoration of clean water to the mill
  • Restored effective storage capacity
  • Enhanced overall pond performance
  • Maintained continuous operation during works
