CLIENT: Christchurch ReadyMix
For a company like Christchurch Ready Mix Concrete Ltd, keeping sand extraction costs low is crucial. Reducing these costs helps optimise operational efficiency and ensure more cost-effective production.
Challenge:
Christchurch Readymix Concrete were looking to reduce their high extraction costs and improve operational safety on site.
Solution:
We introduced the Dragflow DRP120 remote-controlled dredge which allows for remote operation up to 700 meters away from the discharge point. A dredge operator can now monitor and control the dredge’s performance via a tablet from their office.

Results:
The DRP120, operated by a single person, outperformed traditional methods, significantly cutting costs and increasing efficiency. The DRP 120 extracted the same amount of sand as a digger and 2 dump trucks.
Dredge Operator Simon Gill stated, "The DRP120 extracts sand quicker than a digger filling two dump trucks. Buying the dredge was a great idea."
