Why Dredge Robotics Leads Dredging Companies in Australia
Dredge Robotics is a Perth dredging company, specialising in online robotic dredging, operating from Bibra Lake in the city’s southern industrial corridor with a forward base in Newman supporting the Pilbara. We remove accumulated sediment, sludge, biomass and debris from water-retaining assets across Western Australia
For the mining and resources operators who own these assets, the value proposition is specific: we restore designed capacity and verify liner integrity while the asset remains in full service, eliminating the production losses and shutdown coordination that conventional dredging imposes.
How Robotic Dredging Works In Perth Mine Sites
Most dredging contractors across Perth and WA still insist on draining, isolating or even cutting open an asset before work can start, surrendering your water inventory and forcing an unplanned shutdown. Dredge Robotics takes a different approach. Our online robotic systems work inside your tank, lined pond or basin while it stays in full service:
- Stay online: No draining, no isolation, no shutdown, remediation happens outside your production windows entirely.
- Conserve water: A closed-loop process dramatically cuts fresh water demand and preserves licensed inventory on site, critical across WA’s arid, water-constrained operations.
- Eliminate entry: No personnel enter any tank, pond or asset, removing the most serious risk class in confined-space water work.
- Stay compliant: Continuous turbidity and stable pH monitoring, with full logging of all observations for environmental reporting and procurement records.
The result: assets cleaned back to 100%. Tanks, ponds, processing plants and beyond are dredged with lower cost, stronger compliance and safer operations.

Dredging Applications We Deliver Across Perth And WA
Lined pond dredging: Liner-safe removal of sediment, sludge, aquatic weed and bullrush from evaporation ponds, process water ponds and turkey’s nests that have lost capacity to accumulation or vegetation — restored in service, without entry.
Mine site dredging: Tailings ponds, slurry and process tanks, PLS and oxalate ponds, and reservoirs maintained for tier-one operators outside production schedules. By avoiding drain-down, substantial volumes of licensed water are preserved on site.
Process and storage tank cleaning: Online desludging of process and storage tanks, removing compacted material in excess of six metres deep with no interruption to service delivery.
Cooling tower maintenance: Sediment removal from cooling tower basins to recover heat-rejection efficiency and suppress biofouling, without taking the circuit offline.
Chemical ponds, wastewater and dewatering: Remediation of chemical and contaminated ponds, plus GPS-tracked desludging of wastewater ponds, raceways, digesters, oxidation ditches and sedimentation tanks while assets remain operational.
Internationally recognised certifications and accreditations.
LINED PONDS
LINED PONDS
Lined ponds may be common, however, the delicate nature of the lining can add challenges to dredging the traditional way. See how robotic dredging in Australia can restore your HDPE, LLDPE and PVC lined ponds with zero risk of damage, even with minimal visibility.
TANKS
TANKS
Maintaining process and storage tanks is essential, but often requires shutting down operation to do so. Not with Dredge Robotics. We have revolutionised cleaning and inspecting tanks without shutting down your mining, manufacturing or other operations. Learn how.
WASTEWATER DESLUDGING
WASTEWATER DESLUDGING
Using online robotic dredging technology with pinpoint GPS tracking, we can desludge and clean wastewater ponds, raceways, digesters, oxidation ditches and sediment tanks without stopping operations or requiring entry from divers or your team. Explore more.
CHEMICAL PONDS
CHEMICAL PONDS
Our dredging contractors in Australia can operate our online robotics in highly corrosive and extreme pH environments (pH 1 to pH14), allowing you a safer, more efficient and cost-effective method of cleaning and inspecting chemical tanks.
Zero human entry or downtime. Just massive savings and 100% clean results.
The zero-entry model is itself a compliance asset: by removing personnel from confined, contaminated and hazardous mine site water environments, it eliminates the most serious risk class in this category of work.
CASE STUDIES
Having worked with Perth based commercial and industrial powerhouses, we consistently deliver 100% clean results with no turbidity or impact to operations. Explore some of our case studies to see our team approach different applications and problems.

Frequently Asked Questions Answered By Our Perth Dredging Team
Do you provide dredging services across the Perth metropolitan area and regional WA?
Yes. We’re headquartered in Bibra Lake in Perth’s southern industrial corridor, with a forward base in Newman supporting Pilbara operations. From there, we service the full Perth metro area, including the Kwinana industrial strip, Cockburn Sound and the Fremantle and Swan River catchments, as well as remote mine sites and processing facilities across regional Western Australia. Our local footprint means faster mobilisation and lower logistics costs than interstate contractors.
Can you dredge a lined evaporation or process pond at a remote WA mine site without draining it?
Yes. Our online robotic systems remove 100% of accumulated sediment while the pond stays in full service, no drain-down required. For arid inland operations where water is a scarce, licensed resource, this preserves substantial volumes of inventory that conventional methods would forfeit.
We mobilise to remote sites throughout the Pilbara, Goldfields and beyond.
Is your dredging service suited to the extreme process chemistry on WA mine sites?
Our fleet is engineered to withstand sustained chemical attack across WA’s most aggressive duty conditions. Proven applications span pH 1 to pH 13, including sulphuric acid and PLS pond environments, pH 13 lined oxalate ponds, and ferric chloride, cyanide and fluoride-bearing liquids — across gold, nickel, alumina and lithium processing circuits common to WA operations.
Will robotic dredging damage my pond liner?
No. Our proprietary liner-safe technology is designed end-to-end to protect geomembrane integrity, typically LLDPE or PVC, while removing 100% of accumulated sediment.
We eliminate tracks from the drive system and cap the shear forces the robot can transmit to the liner, cleaning back to bare liner without compromising it. Once cleared, the asset can be directly inspected for breaches.
