Highwall Pumps
The Highwall Pump is designed to have the main frame / power pack situated on top
of the highwall edge, with the wet-end lowered over the pit wall and into the water
accumulation on the pit floor.
The advantages of this pump format over conventional pit type pumps are:
- Quick mobilization and demobilization with minimum labour requirements.
- The pump delivery hose is positioned in place with the wet-end.
- The bulk of the pump unit remains clear of mining operations.
- Eliminates the need for Pump Crew to work in the pit near the Highwall.
- Access to water accumulating in a pit being developed by dragline operation is achieved without hindering the operations.
By incorporating a second (booster) pump unit to the Highwall Pump, performance is improved to 100L/sec @ 200m head TDH. The booster pump is hard plumbed into the outlet of the primary pump, allowing for simple and efficient transferring of water at high head.
By utilizing a single pump unit to lift to 200m, operating of a single engine, all complexities of setting up staging pumps, including manoeuvring of a second unit, connecting pipe work, balancing performance, and monitoring both units is eliminated.
