Dewatering

Sump, wellpoint and deep well pumping systems that keep the pit dry and working faces safe.

We design and run the pumping systems that keep an open pit dry as it deepens, matching the method to the inflow: sump pumping around the excavation for straightforward drainage, wellpoint systems where a shallow water table needs to be lowered evenly across an area, and deep well systems, each fitted with its own submersible pump, where a larger volume needs to be drawn down ahead of the working face.

Reliable dewatering is what keeps a pit safe to work and productive to mine — uncontrolled groundwater compromises highwall stability and can stop production outright. We size, install and run the pumps and header systems to the inflow the pit is actually seeing, and adjust as the workings advance.
