Project: Desluding WWTP Ponds
Client: Water Corporation
Location: Wheatbelt Region, WA
Desludging the Wheatbelt
In a location approximately 200km east of Perth, APEX Envirocare was engaged to carry out dredging and desludging works on a Wastewater Treatment Plant pond in the heart of WA’s Wheatbelt region.
The remotely located site consisted of a singular primary pond, a relatively compact laydown area with very limited freshwater available.
Over the course of the project, our dredging team commenced and completed desludging works across a 3782m2 clay-lined pond, recovering over a hundred tonnes of dried sediment via our successful Sediment Removal system.
This was achieved whilst satisfying several key client considerations which included the pond remaining online during all works and for the highest level of safety being adhered to. To ensure this our unmanned remote control dredge (Mud Cat 40E ) was deployed to offer an additional level of safety during the works on the pond.
