In order to provide a remote, safe method of sorting and segregating underwater waste in fuel storage ponds, we replaced the electrical components of a JCB 1 tonne Micro Digger with hydraulic running gear to allow for reliable operations in hazardous environments.
By adapting the traditional Micro Digger by using our engineering excellence, we were able to conceptualise, build, test and deliver the Underwater Micro Digger in a matter of weeks, which provided the perfect solution for the client, in the first instance Sellafield.
