The Problem 

The current approach to moving diamond bearing gravel is a great burden to the concession holder and contractor alike. Vast amounts of gravel are transported over great distances to be processed, bringing with it, the following issues:

• Expensive infrastructure such as trucks and well maintained roads are required.
• The processing facilities are overworked with unnecessary volumes of non-diamond bearing gravel.
• High fuel costs and environmental impact
• Environmental rehabilitation is complicated as gravel is removed from the mining site.

Furthermore, production inefficiencies are already formed at the mining site, as contractors are forced to halt excavation or dredging in order to allocate time for loading and transporting gravel.
This traditional approach is necessitated by security weaknesses inherent to transportation of concentrated gravel. To provide an alternative, it is essential to ensure that there will be no compromise on the product security to the concessionaires.

The Solution 

AquaDredge has engineered a solution in the form of a fully secured, gravel concentrating field unit called the AquaProcess. The unit can be used at the mining site by the contractor and will be capable of concentrating tons of gravel down to kilograms. The concentrated gravel will be extracted into a security canister for transportation to the processing plant for final recovery.
