Project Overview

  • Location: Western Australia
  • Industry: Mining
  • Asset: Sediment Pond
A modular dredging system was fitted with high pressure jetting and deployed in a plastic lined pond.

Scope

  • Sediment removal from overflowing plastic lined pond
  • Management of accumulated fines and settled solids
  • Agitation required to break up shallow sediments
  • Operation within active site conditions
  • Controlled dredging approach suited to site constraints

Outcome

  • High pressure jetting bar provided good agitation
  • Progressive dredging restored effective storage capacity
  • Reduced overflow risk during peak inflows
  • Improved pond performance and water management
  • Maintained continuous operation during works
