Breve
Our client engaged Minetek to design and implement an effective pit dewatering solution at their coal mine in New South Wales, Australia. The objective was to maintain optimal operational efficiency by managing water levels in the mining pits, ensuring uninterrupted mining activities and compliance with environmental regulations.
Sfida
Ths mine faced significant challenges in managing water levels within its mining pits. High rainfall and groundwater inflow necessitated a reliable and efficient dewatering system to prevent operational delays and potential flooding. Failure to manage the water effectively could lead to decreased productivity, increased operational costs, and potential environmental non-compliance. Our client needed a solution that could handle the substantial water volume while being cost-effective and environmentally sustainable.
Soluzione
Minetek provided a Water Evaporation System Package with two water evaporators, designed to meet the mine’s dewatering needs. These systems offered a combined volume throughput of 180 m³/hour (800 GPM), ensuring efficient water removal from the pits. The implementation of Minetek’s advanced evaporation technology resulted in a significant reduction in water levels, allowing uninterrupted mining operations. The solution not only improved operational efficiency but also ensured compliance with environmental regulations, reinforcing our client’s commitment to sustainable mining practices. Minetek’s evaporation systems proved to be a vital asset in maintaining the productivity and environmental stewardship of the site.
