ABSTRACT:
A dredging and treatment apparatus is provided for the working of alluvial deposits in deep waters in excess of 100 meters. The apparatus comprises an elongated pontoon having a container at one end and a treatment plant at the other. A plurality of grab units mounted on rails are movable from positions laterally of both sides of the pontoon to discharge positions over said container. A bucket elevator is pivoted at its upper end to support means on said pontoon so that its lower end may be moved to a position relative to the container section in accordance with the level of the material in the container. The treatment plant is thereby able to receive the material at a constant rate for onboard processing, the tailings being discharged back into the sea.
