Wilo offers solutions to all your dewatering requirement in Mining and metal extraction. The submersible pump in deep mines or surface pump floating on the pontoon are configured for your use along with dedicated control and monitoring system.

Innovative control measures reduce the risks for people in the mines.

Those in charge of maintaining the operation of the mines as well as consultants and plant engineers need to overcome ever greater challenges in pumping water, rainwater retention and protection from high water or floods. Wilo’s product portfolio for drainage & rainwater retention includes lifting units, drainage pumps & wastewater pumps for deep mines and surface mines.

More protection and increased safety at the same time

Mining companies can rely on Wilo drainage pumps to provide security in the event of high water and floods. Our modern high water and drainage pumps provide maximum delivery rates and start up first time around, even after a prolonged period of downtime.

This means that you can transport large amounts of water over low delivery heads in a short period of time. The pumps are assembled on pontoon floats on the water body and can be monitored remotely. As our systems are specifically designed to meet your requirements, you will be well prepared for fluctuating water quantities or flow rates (depending on the quantity of stormwater or water level, for example at high tide). As well as reliability and performance, you will also benefit from our systems’ high level of energy efficiency.

Drainage of excavations

For contractors and responsible parties in the public sector, draining your excavation is vital for the success of your project. Water ingress on construction sites, in civil engineering or during excavation works can cause considerable delays to your work. In the worst-case scenario, construction work may come to a complete stop, incurring high follow-up costs. Continuous and reliable drainage is therefore an important precondition in order to guarantee that your project progresses according to schedule. Use Wilo’s submersible drainage pumps for excavation drainage. Our pump systems are characterised by their high level of reliability for continuous operation in abrasive fluids. This is achieved by using wear-resistant material combinations, active cooling for continuous operation (particularly in slurping operation) and an integrated protection function. The pumps can be used in a wide variety of applications and put into operation quickly thanks to their low weight and flexible discharge connection. As a result, our pumps keep your pits reliably dry and therefore ensure that your work runs smoothly.
