pit dewatering system for Cement Australia at their Railton mine.
Design, manufacture and installation of a pit dewatering system for Cement Australia at their Railton mine. The significance of this project is in the fact that this system is capable of pumping the mine water at a capacity of 400 Litres per second at a head of 120m
The project consists of four main components:
• Welding and installation of three 355mm riser pipes from the pit floor to the top of the pit, a height of nearly 90m
• Design manufacture and installation of manifolds and valve systems together with blast proof enclosures
• Installation of pumps
• Welding and installation of 400m of 450mm polypipe to evacuate water from top of pit to settling ponds.
Pumping is currently being undertaken using a Cummins V12, 1200HP diesel and a 300×250/600 Caprari pump.
