Our forte is formulating solutions on the most difficult of projects. Stream, Lake And Wetland Solutions works closely with our clients to perform the most efficient dredging and de-watering project based on the specific needs of each client. The area contains half a dozen of settling ponds which are to be dredged in turn.Most municipal and industrial lagoons require dredging because they have reached or exceeded their original design capacity. The choice for a project set-up of an excavator with attached submersible pump has been made due to the easy relocation of the unit. The dredged material will be pumped over a land pipe line varying in length between 400 m and 1,000 m to a disposal area. The dredging depth starts at -2m, yet when the ponds is cleared out it will be -6 m. The cleaning up of these ponds is done by a DOP dredge pump, fitted out with a cutter unit to break up compacted sediments. These ponds contain process water, ash residue from the combustion process of the power station and fine sands. Next to the power station is a coal mine, supplying the power station with the fuel to generate electricity.Īround the power station there are a number of industrial settling ponds. The station generates some 2,210 MW, being approx. The AGL Loy Yang power station is located 165 km South East of Melbourne in the state of Victoria. An amphibious excavator with DOP150 is doing this job at present. To ensure these ponds can be used to store their maximum capacity of ash and fine sand, they are to be cleaned at regular intervals. Various industrial settling ponds of the AGL Loy Lang power station needed maintenance dredging.
