Moving water 7.5km across a mine site takes a complete system, not just a pump and a pipe. It takes years of dewatering experience and a fleet of pumps and ancillary items to match, all designed around the site’s specific requirements.
What Does a 7.5km Water Transfer System Involve?
When a client needed high flow water transfer across 7.5km of DN1000 pipeline to meet environmental requirements, Aquaflo Hire collabarated with design engineers to deliver a complete solution. It included –
- Two pontoon mounted diesel pumpsets with manifold
- 80 metres of walkway infrastructure
- Onshore diesel storage
- Automatic level controls
- Scada network integration
Why Does Long Distance Water Transfer need More Than a Pump and Pipe?
Over 7.5km, every part of the system has to work with the others. The pumps need stable, safe access. The fuel needs to be on hand. Water levels need to be managed automatically, and the site needs real world live information. Treating these as separate items creates challenges. Designing them as one system solves the problem.
What Was the Result
A user friendly solution, delivered on time and meeting all site and environmental compliance requirements.
This is what a complete water management solution looks like in practice. Not just off the shelf equipment on a truck, but a system designed around the site’s specific requirements.
