How to clean out settling ponds at a quarry?
January 14, 2022
Cleaning out sediment ponds at a quarry can be tedious. Draglines were used in the past but have mostly been replaced by excavators to dig out settling ponds. Hydraulic dredges can also be useful to remove sediment from ponds in mine sites and quarries. Tailings, silt, and sediment can be removed and used in reclamation activities or placed in areas outside of the main processing facility.
