Should I Book a Dewatering Pumpset Before the Wet Season Arrives?

The short answer is yes. Once the rains arrive everyone wants to hire a pumpset. While we have one of Australia’s largest fleets of pumpsets and ancillary items available, it will pay to start thinking about your requirements now.

With the dry season in full swing across Australia, the big wet probably hasn’t crossed your mind yet. Sites are dry. Manging dust is more of a priority than moving excess water (we have dust management systems too – truck fill points, evaporators and sprinkler systems).

But things can change very quickly. The BOM often gets its predictions wrong – the wet season has a habit of sneaking up on on us and hitting hard. Sites that book ahead won’t be caught out. Getting your booking in now means the right pumpset is tested and ready to despatch to your site before the rains arrive.

Quick. Smart.
