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

Robotic Dredging Applications at Power Stations

Internationally recognised certifications and accreditations.

Our proprietary robotic dredging technology has been extensively proven to be the leading advanced technology for maintaining critical water infrastructure in the power industry. Our robotic dredging systems fully eliminate human entry and provide versatile new options for the cleaning and inspection of process tanks, cooling towers and lined ponds, while the assets remain in full service. This ensures seamless operation, environmental compliance and asset sustainability while placing the highest priority on the safety of your personnel.

Importance of Robotic Dredging at Power Stations

Power stations rely on various water storage and management systems, including process tanks, cooling towers, and lined ponds. Robotic dredging technology offers an innovative and cost effective solution for maintaining these critical components, while eliminating all risks associated with human entry.

ABOUT US

Process Tanks:

Process tanks are used to store and treat various liquids and by-products generated during power generation. Over time, these tanks can accumulate sludge, sediment, and other residues that can reduce their capacity and efficiency. Robotic dredging systems can remove these materials safely and efficiently while the asset remains online, without the need for human entry. This approach minimizes downtime and ensures that the tanks are operating at optimal levels.

Cooling Towers:

Cooling towers are essential for regulating temperatures within power stations, preventing overheating, and maintaining operational stability. However, they can accumulate sediment, scale, which can impair their efficiency and encourage unwelcome biological growth. Robotic dredging technology can clean cooling tower basins and remove these deposits without shutting down the system, allowing precious chemicals in the water to be recovered while separating out sediment from the dredging stream. This ensures continuous, efficient and hygenic operation of your cooling tower facility.

Lined Ponds:

Lined ponds are used for water storage, wastewater management, and containment of by-products such as coal fines, blowdown waste and fly ash. These ponds can accumulate sediment, sludge, and other materials that need to be removed regularly to maintain their functionality. Robotic dredging systems provide a safe and effective solution for cleaning lined ponds, preventing liner damage during dredging operations, and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

Benefits of Robotic Dredging



Enhanced Worker Safety

Robotic dredging eliminates the need for human entry into hazardous environments and confined spaces such as process tanks, cooling tower basins and lined ponds. Eliminating human entry into these hazardous environments eliminated the potential for confined space or drowning related incidents to occur and prioritises worker safety as the primary concern in these maintenance tasks.



Regulatory Compliance

The power generation industry is subject to stringent environmental and licencing regulations. Our proprietary technology helps companies comply with these regulations by providing a safe and reliable method for managing water assets.



Cost Efficiency

Cost efficiency is a foremost consideration in any maintenance program. Our technology has been reliably proven to be both the safest and lowest cost option for maintaining a broad range of water assets across multiple power facilities. The helpful team at Dredge Robotics are only too happy to show you how we can make your maintenance budget go further, without taking your assets offline.
