OUR SPECIALIST DREDGING SERVICES

TAILINGS DAM DREDGING

We specialise in tailings storage facility (TSF) maintenance and management, helping mining operations safely handle waste materials while maximising storage capacity. Our cutter suction dredges are specifically designed to handle the challenging materials found in tailings dams, from fine slurries to settled sediments.

Extend TSF operational life. Reduce environmental risks. Maintain storage capacity. Meet regulatory compliance requirements.

RESOURCE RECOVERY DREDGING

Our tailings reprocessing and re-mining services help clients recover valuable minerals that were previously lost during initial processing. By reprocessing tailings, we help maximise the value of your mineral assets while reducing the volume of stored waste materials.

Recover previously lost minerals. Maximise asset value. Reduce tailings storage volumes. Improve overall project economics.

COAL & FLY ASH TAILINGS DREDGING

We provide specialist dredging services for power stations and coal mining operations, safely removing and relocating fly ash and coal tailings. Our proven track record includes major projects for Australia's leading energy producers, delivering safe, efficient outcomes for these challenging materials.
