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.

Remove weeds and clean your water storages down to the lining with our lined pond dredging services that ensure zero downtime. Our innovative approach eliminates the need for human entry and guarantees 100% sediment removal.

Sediment and Weed Removal

At Dredge Robotics, we have developed a unique dredging system specifically designed for lined ponds. This advanced technology ensures that cleaning operations can be conducted safely, reaching down to the bare liner without causing any damage. Our robots are capable of operating in extreme pH levels, corrosive environments, and other challenging conditions, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

Our system can remove various types of sediment, from light mud to compacted clays, and can handle sediments with different pH levels, corrosive liquids, cyanide, and heavy metals. This versatility ensures that our robots can effectively clean any type of lined pond, regardless of the sediment composition.

In addition to sediment removal, our technology is adept at eliminating aquatic plants, weeds, and bullrushes from lined ponds while they are still in full service. This process is carried out without any human entry, reducing safety risks and operational disruptions. By removing overgrown plant material, our robots can restore the pond’s capacity, ensuring optimal functionality and compliance with regulatory standards.

Our proprietary technology has been extensively proven safe by leading organizations in the mining, power, and water sectors. These robots can navigate sediment depths in excess of five meters and pond diameters from a few meters to over 100 meters. Liner-safe versions of the technology are available, ensuring that dredging won’t damage HDPE, LLDPE, PVC, or other liner types. This comprehensive capability allows us to offer a globally unique service that addresses the specific needs of lined pond maintenance.

Reduce Risk & Save Time with Our Lined Pond Cleaning Services

The fragile nature of lining materials, typically LLDPE or PVC, means that conventional methods of removing accumulated sludge or plant material can damage the liner. Such water storages often have strict licensing conditions, and a liner breach can result in significant financial and reputational costs.

Pond Remediation & Industrial Dredging

Tracked robots and traditional dredging barges are unsuitable for lined pond maintenance as they can damage the delicate liner. These methods lack the fine control necessary to protect the liner during sediment removal.
Our robots feature an advanced torsion control system, an extensive sensor network, and sophisticated sonar feedback modeling. This allows them to operate safely in low-visibility environments while preserving the integrity of the pond liner. They can remove 100% of accumulated sediment, enabling liner inspections without any service interruption.

Commercial Pond Cleaning for HDPE and Other Lined Ponds

Our cost-effective and scalable technology has become the preferred solution for several major mining companies. It ensures continuity of water supply and eliminates the risks associated with human entry. Our award-winning technology has been adapted for use in harsh environments, with proven applications across a wide pH range (from pH 1 to pH 13) in industries like gold, nickel, and alumina processing.
Additionally, we offer proprietary robotic technology capable of detecting and repairing existing leaks in lined ponds, another world-first innovation from Dredge Robotics.
With over 35 years of experience in industrial and commercial pond cleaning, we have worked with some of the biggest names in the mining, power, industrial, and water sectors. Our robotic dredging systems ensure minimal risk, no human entry, and no potential damage to your lining.
