Mine Dewatering

Mine dewatering is the process of removing groundwater or excess water from underground mines, open-pit mines, and mining tunnels. As most mines are susceptible to flooding and all mines will need to account for dewatering at some point in time, effective water management is a crucial aspect of mining operations. Excessive water can pose significant safety risks, hinder productivity, and damage equipment. Dewatering can ensure a safe and dry working environment, allowing miners to extract valuable minerals and resources efficiently.

Our Mine Dewatering Services:

  1. Site Assessment: Our team conducts a thorough site assessment to understand the hydrogeological conditions specific to your mining operation. This assessment guides our approach to dewatering, helping us select the most appropriate techniques and equipment.
  2. Method Selection: Depending on the site’s characteristics, we employ various methods, including wellpoint systems, sump pumping, submersible pumps, and deep well drilling. Our goal is to create a tailored solution that efficiently removes water from the mining area.
  3. Equipment Installation: We install equipment, including pumps, piping systems, and control systems, to effectively manage water levels. Our equipment is designed for durability and reliability, ensuring uninterrupted dewatering operations.
  4. Monitoring and Maintenance: We provide continuous monitoring of dewatering systems to ensure they operate optimally. Regular maintenance and adjustments are performed to prevent equipment breakdowns and ensure the longevity of the system

  1. Enhanced Safety: Dewatering reduces the risk of flooding and water-related accidents in mining operations, creating a safer working environment for miners.
  2. Retains Water for Reuse: Retaining and reusing water is crucial for cost-effectiveness and preventing the buildup of waste elements that can harm operations and product quality. Mine dewatering can significantly contribute to achieving these water management goals.
  3. Increased Productivity: Keeping mining areas dry allows for more efficient mineral extraction and mining operations, ultimately increasing productivity.
  4. Equipment Protection: Excessive water can damage mining equipment. Dewatering safeguards valuable machinery and reduces maintenance costs.
  5. Environmental Compliance: Responsible practices help mining companies comply with environmental regulations and reduce their ecological footprint.
  6. Cost Efficiency: Efficient dewatering minimises downtime and operational disruptions, resulting in cost savings for mining operations. It can also reduce haulage costs through reduced weight of mined resources and waste materials as well as blasting costs because dry holes do not require expensive emulsion explosives.
