Hagler Systems of Augusta, GA, has commissioned the company’s latest Kraken Series ‘McClelland Dredge’.
According to the company, this new vessel was launched yesterday at a customer’s mine site in Alberta, Canada.
The Dredge is 175 feet long x 57 feet wide, weighing in at 1.7 million pounds, and she pumps 7,500 cubic meters per hour. It took 38 special-permit big rigs to haul this project around 2,650 miles to her destination.
There she will work on a Mature Fine Tailings (MFT) pond to pump mineral waste. Tailings are finely ground rocks and other mineral waste that are a by-product of mineral mining.
