Tailings Pond Reclamation in a Remote Mining Operation
Case Study
The Challenge: Extreme Conditions in Remote Locations
A leading mining operation in the Western U.S. faced severe accumulation of dense, abrasive tailings in a remote process pond. The pond was critical for ongoing operations but had become heavily clogged with high-solids slurry, making access difficult for conventional mechanical dredging. Compounding the issue was limited accessibility and diver safety concerns due to the compact, sediment-heavy environment.
The Solution
To address this issue, the project team deployed the DEP-4000 Electric Diver Operated Dredge, utilizing its high-solids handling capabilities and non-clog design. The setup included:
- A 6-inch suction hose for optimal intake
- Doppler Wireless Slurry Flow Meter to ensure stable, plug-free flow throughout operations
- A 225 kW electric generator to power the dredge
The diver operated the suction hose manually, allowing for:
- Precision targeting of sediment layers
- Real-time adjustments to suction angle and depth
- Continuous monitoring of flow rates to prevent clogging and optimize output
The Result
The operation delivered highly effective results:
- Achieved consistent flow rates between 700 to 1000 GPM, translating to 50–100 cubic yards per hour
- Handled up to 70% solids by volume, outperforming traditional pumps in similar environments
- Completed full-scale dredging of the pond in under two weeks
Key Benefits
- Reduced the number of divers and support crew needed on-site
- Minimized fuel and equipment costs due to electric power
- Eliminated clogging issues common with centrifugal pumps
- Lowered environmental impact with precise material removal
