Turnkey dredging systems for Australia’s mining sector
In the mining industry, water management is not just a necessity — it’s a cornerstone of safety, efficiency and environmental performance. Tailings dams lined ponds and water storage assets all play a critical role in production, yet they are often subject to sediment build-up, restricted capacity, and regulatory pressures.
For more than 15 years, Dredging Systems has been helping mining operators overcome these challenges with turnkey dredging systems designed for the toughest Australian conditions.
Built for mining, built for remote environments
One of the defining features of Dredging Systems is its ability to mobilise rapidly and deliver solutions in even the most remote locations. All equipment is road transportable, ensuring that mobilisation is straightforward, cost-effective and accessible across the nation. Whether a project is located in the Pilbara in WA, the Bowen Basin in Queensland, the Hunter Valley in NSW or further afield, Dredging Systems brings the right people, equipment and expertise directly to site.
The company’s long-standing experience in remote operations means clients can rely on efficient project planning and execution without the logistical headaches often associated with difficult-to-access sites. This adaptability has made Dredging Systems a trusted contractor across Australia’s mining heartlands.
Specialist fleet: amphibious and remote-controlled dredges
Mining environments are rarely uniform. Tailings dams can vary in depth, lining and condition, while access points are often limited. To meet these challenges, Dredging Systems operates a specialist fleet of amphibious dredges and remotely controlled dredges designed for versatility and precision.
Amphibious dredges are ideal for sites that require mobility across shallow, soft or unstable conditions, enabling operators to tackle projects where conventional equipment cannot perform. Meanwhile, remotely controlled dredges are purpose-built for lined dams and sensitive sites, ensuring that material is removed without compromising liners or other engineered structures.
By combining the right dredge with the right methodology, Dredging Systems delivers safe and efficient outcomes for every client.
Complete dewatering expertise
Dredging is only half the story. Once material is removed, it must be handled responsibly, safely and in line with regulatory requirements. With more than a decade of proven expertise, Dredging Systems provides comprehensive dewatering services tailored to client needs.
By offering multiple dewatering pathways, the company ensures every project has a sustainable, practical and site-specific solution.
