Can you clean lined ponds without damaging my liner?

Yes, our proprietary liner-safe technology has been designed end-to-end to protect the integrity of your pond liner while removing 100% of accumulated sediment. This technology has been extensively proven in a broad range of environments.

Can you clean process tanks while they remain online?

Yes, Dredge Robotics have a proprietary service offering capable of cleaning process tanks while they remain in full service, removing compacted mud in excess of 6 metres deep with no interruption to service delivery.

Can my asset safely stay online during cleaning?

Yes, in almost all circumstances we are able to safely clean and inspect your asset without the need to take it out of service. This can eliminate costly downtime and allow maintenance to be completed outside of shutdown windows.

Can you assist me to recover valuable resources from the sediment in my ponds?

Yes. Our robotic technology is regularly utilised to recover gold, mineral crystals and other valuable resources from lined storage dams. We can provide an end to end service including dewatering of the dredged material to separate out the valuable material from the dredged mud.

ROBOTIC CAPABILITY

BATHYMETRIC SURVEYS

Our bathymetric surveys are crucial for various industries, ensuring efficiency, compliance and longevity of assets.

A bathymetric survey maps the underwater terrain of ponds, reservoirs and other water bodies, identifying sediment accumulation, water depths and sludge levels. These insights help asset managers make informed decisions regarding dredging, maintenance and environmental management.

Our industry-leading bathymetric surveys are designed to provide accurate and comprehensive underwater profiling for a variety of water assets. Using advanced unmanned survey vehicles (USVs) and remote-operated vehicles (ROVs), we collect high-resolution data with Multi-Beam Sonar technology to support asset management, regulatory compliance, and maintenance planning.

This cutting-edge sonar technology, combined with GPS integration, allows Dredge Robotics to provide detailed 3D models of submerged environments. We also enable real-time and remote data monitoring and capture to ensure data integrity, giving clients confidence in the accuracy and reliability of their survey results.

Applications of Bathymetric Surveys

Industrial Wastewater Ponds – Assess sludge accumulation to optimise capacity and plan dredging.
Power Stations & Mining Ponds – Monitor sediment levels to maintain operational efficiency.
Municipal Water Reservoirs – Ensure regulatory compliance and water quality management.
Irrigation & Agricultural Dams – Prevent capacity reduction due to sedimentation.
Environmental Monitoring – Support ecological assessments and conservation efforts.

Why Choose Dredge Robotics?

Unmanned, Safe & Non-Disruptive
Our remote-controlled survey equipment allows us to conduct surveys without putting personnel at risk, ensuring a safe and efficient operation from the shore.

High Accuracy & Advanced Technology
We utilise industry-leading Multi-Beam Sonar and dual-frequency systems that accurately detect both the top of the sludge layer and the pond floor, ensuring precise volume calculations.

Comprehensive & Customisable Reporting
Each survey includes a detailed report tailored to your operational needs, including 3D visualisations, cross-sectional profiles and key sludge metrics.

Regulatory Compliance & Cost Savings
By proactively managing sediment accumulation, our clients extend asset lifespan, maintain environmental compliance and reduce costly emergency dredging operations.
