Tasmania Water Works – Australia
“After years of sediment buildup, we needed a powerful robot that could clean thoroughly — without compromising our supply.”
— Operations Lead, Tasmania Water Works
Tasmania Water Works operates in remote, ecologically sensitive environments where water quality is paramount and access is limited. The utility manages open-air reservoirs and sedimentation basins prone to algae blooms and silt buildup. Weather patterns, including heavy rainfall and temperature shifts, exacerbate the rate of accumulation. Robotic cleaning platforms provide a solution that doesn’t require full drainage or manual access, enabling regular sediment removal even in hard-to-reach zones. This contributes to sustainable water management and aligns with environmental protection mandates.
The Challenge
Severe sedimentation had built up in one of Tasmania’s main distribution reservoirs. Draining wasn’t feasible due to limited backup capacity and the risk of disrupting supply.
The Weda Solution
Weda provided the VR-600, a powerful robotic cleaner capable of desilting and removing sludge while fully submerged. Weda’s team supported the initial deployment remotely and the unit was quickly adopted into regular maintenance.
