Mining and Energy 

Underground Dewatering

 
The mandate:
Pumping 400 US gpm of dirty water containing 20% solids at a manometric head of 280 metres to dewater the Black Fox mine.
 
Pumpaction’s added value:
Install the Octopus™ multi-stage pump system designed by Pumpaction, tailored to the customer’s requirements and an excellent value. The system acts as the emergency auxiliary system for the Dolphin™ system, installed four weeks prior. 
 
Location:
Matheson, ON
 
Customer:            
Primero Gold
 
 
 
The mandate:
Implement a system that could deliver 400 US gpm at a manometric head of 350 metres to dewater a mine ramp, with water containing almost 20% solids.
 
Pumpaction’s added value:
The suggestion of Pumpaction’s engineer to use a Dolphin™ series of three pumps was right on target: in addition to meeting the customer’s requirements and handling the constraints of the application, it reduced the customer’s maintenance costs from $25,000 every three weeks to $9,000 every six months. The Pumpaction team handled equipment installation and start-up, in addition to providing a multi-stage Octopus™ system as an emergency back-up system for the Dolphin.

The mandate:
Install a system to deliver 400 US gpm at a manometric head of 280 metres, and pump water containing almost 20% solids.
 
Pumpaction’s added value:
Propose innovative, customized technology for the client: the Pumpaction ORCA SK™ system, equipped with two Metso pumps. Not only did the system efficiently dewater the ramp, it also allowed the customer to save thousands of dollars per year in maintenance compared with a conventional system.

Paste Backfill
 
 
 
The mandate:
Extracting raw materials from the ground creates a lot of waste that is harmful for the environment. It also creates holes in the ground that limit the amount of material that can be extracted.
 
Pumpaction’s added value:
The Putzmerister HSP2180 pumps and the HA75 hydraulic power pack allow the paste containing the mine’s waste to be pumped back into the galleries to fill them at a rate of 40m³/h at 35 bar. This equipment solved the problems caused by the harmful waste of the mine, while allowing the maximum amount of raw material to be extracted from the mine. The “C” head of the pump allows the paste to reach the most remote parts of the mine.
