In October 2018, Dredge Robotics, achieved a remarkable milestone by winning the prestigious Safety and Health Invention of the Year at the Work Safety Awards WA. This accolade celebrates our innovative robotic cleaner, specifically designed for the maintenance of water storage assets, and underscores our unwavering commitment to occupational safety and health (OSH).
This marks the second consecutive year that Fremantle Commercial Diving (FCD), the parent company of Dredge Robotics, has been honoured with this award. The recognition further solidifies our position as industry leaders in developing solutions that prioritise worker safety while enhancing operational efficiency.
The Award-Winning Innovation
Our robotic cleaner for water storage assets represents a revolutionary leap in workplace safety and efficiency. Traditionally, maintaining water storage assets posed significant risks to workers, who were often required to enter confined spaces and operate in hazardous environments.
Our invention eliminates these dangers by using advanced robotics to perform maintenance tasks remotely.
Recognition at the Work Safety Awards WA
The Work Safety Awards WA recognise outstanding achievements in occupational safety and health across Western Australian workplaces. The Safety and Health Invention of the Year category celebrates innovative solutions that address OSH challenges and improve workplace safety.
Winning this award in 2018 highlights the impact of our robotic cleaner on the industry. It reflects our dedication to creating solutions that not only meet but exceed safety standards, demonstrating the transformative potential of robotics in high-risk industries.
Continuing a Legacy of Excellence
This achievement is especially meaningful as it marks the second year in a row that Fremantle Commercial Diving has been honoured with this award. The back-to-back recognition underscores our long-standing commitment to safety innovation and our ability to adapt to evolving industry needs.
