An Enjoyable and Rewarding Agricultural Environment - Lifestyle, Business
Opportunity in dam maintenance, supporting water conservation and management. Established in 1989 - Robco Dam Cleaning is a unique business servicing the W.A. Agricultural and pastoral regions.Robco Dam Cleaning is a specialist business with plenty of ongoing work with an established and growing client base that has been built up over the last 35 years.
Utilizing two key philosophies - " Keep it Simple", and "Work Smarter - Not Harder", bringing about ease of maintenance and operation, providing more income earning opportunity....the owners have developed a system and specialized equipment to efficiently remove silt / mud from underwater to place existing water deeper in ground, where it is colder (at dam's original floor depth), thereby reducing evaporation rate via the natural thermo-syphon action re-created.
This process restores dam to its original capacity, saves existing water for use and provides a useful by-product for the client. The process leaves dams with Safe Access and Improved Water Quality, - Essential for Spray, House, Livestock and Firefighting purposes.
In this current age of changing weather and rainfall patterns - Careful water management has never been more important, with clients commenting "that it is better to save existing water, than to run out and have to clean dry dams and wait for weather to refill - meanwhile, having the inconvenience and cost of carting water." The system is designed to efficiently clean dry dams also.
A major advantage is reach - 150 mtrs, and the ability to efficiently do the "Awkward, Limited Access" dams in paddock corners or beside roads etc... with relative ease, along with the ability to efficiently operate on a large range of dam types and sizes - from small soaks to very large dams of differing shapes and sizes - with ANY quantity of water within, or dry.
Years of Research and Development have culminated in creating incredibly well-designed equipment, ensuring that Robco Dam Cleaning are leaders in their field and scope of work.
The equipment being offered for sale with this business is purpose built, well maintained, in good condition and currently operating as a two-person operation, with scope to utilize split /rotating shifts for two or more teams.
Although seasonal, the business has historically had a larger than the traditionally limited window of opportunity, operating for most of the year, saving the wettest part of winter for maintenance period.
The large client base is currently W.A. Farming areas, with occasional Shire and Mining Industry work carried out. (Rec. Dams, Effluent Ponds/dams, and tailings dams etc...)
A very comfortable and practical large worksite caravan for onsite accommodation is included with Plant and Equipment.
The business partners offer basic training in proven techniques, operation and maintenance, if required.
The asking price for the business, plant and equipment has two (2) options.

The asking price for the property is $1,500,000.
Note - (from owners) - As 70 approaches, having become quite comfortable and achieved goals set while operating the business, I have wound back working as I did as a younger man, as the list of days worked per year, recorded in work diaries since 2017 indicate, showing business potential if more days in the year are worked. Our priorities have changed with parents and dear friends dying at this time of life. We have worked the business to our capacity for our age group and the modest requirements of life at this stage of our lives. Please consider this when reviewing the financials.
This is a great opportunity for younger people.
