Mobile dredging services
DREDGING Systems has been working as waterway engineers across Australia since 1995 and specialises in quality, cost-effective dredging for the mining industry.
Dredging Systems director Anto Pratten said the company excels in both hydraulic (cutter-suction pumping) and mechanical (excavator bucket) dredging.
“Our highly mobile equipment operates in mine tailings dams, industrial ponds and effluent ponds,” he said.
“We also operate remotely controlled dredges that are specifically designed for cleaning out lined dams.”
The team has various systems to dewater / dry the dredged material.
Dewatering bags for smaller volumes and portable mechanical systems for larger volumes.
The company has the expertise and equipment to clear material build-up from settlement ponds and mine tailings dams.
“Our highly mobile equipment can ‘walk’ or be craned into tight-access industrial ponds or anywhere that water-flow rates need to be increased,” Mr Pratten said.
“We specialise in removing and disposing of silt, clay, rock and weed and we can work in shallow, muddy water, with equipment that pumps or excavates material to dewatering equipment.”
Dredging Systems’ equipment is transportable by truck anywhere in Australia.
The amphibious dredges can operate as either cutter- suction dredges or floating amphibious excavators, with the ability to pump mud, silt or sand up to 1000m — and a booster pump is available for further distances.
The dredges are ideal for quickly and efficiently clearing mine tailings dams, ponds, creeks, marinas and rivers.
