Dockboy – Advanced Robotic Tooling
Kelly's Australia introduces Dockboy, Australia’s first and most efficient and environmentally friendly method for ship surface preparation

The Dockboy is a remotely controlled unit designed specifically for the preparation of ship hulls, decks and other similar surfaces. It is fully containerised, making it ready for transport to any location in Australia.

The unit operates at a maximum pressure of 3000 bar and features a 520mm blast head, for increased productivity.

Sensors ensure that the blast head remains in constant contact with the ship hull, while a specially developed nozzle layout delivers an even blast profile.

In addition to its efficiency, the Dockboy also offers an environmentally friendly solution to ship surface preparation. It includes an inbuilt filter and disposal module for waste and wastewater, with a filter mesh size of 70u to 200u.

The unit also utilises biodegradable hydraulic oil, making it safe for use in sensitive environmental areas.

Other advantages of the Dockboy include:

  • Increased personnel safety – removes the worker from the workface and reduces the Working at Heights requirement.
  • 20 percent increase in productivity – results in reduced docking time.
  • Automated and adjustable work functions - allows for easy blasting of ship hull curvatures, decks and substructure surfaces.

Waterjetting
Water jet technology has been used for decades and today, due to environmental and economic issues it is an important tool with many applications.
Drain cleaning
Kelly’s Australia offer cleaning and inspection services for sewerage, stormwater and industrial pipelines; using the latest techniques and up to date technology.
CCTV inspections
Kelly’s Australia use the very latest technology to provide detailed inspections of a drain or pipe system below ground or above ground in areas not readily accessible.
Hydrodemolition
Utilising the effects of erosion rather than compressive impact to remove concrete, the water jet removes only the concrete that it is in direct contact with.
