Water and mines have always been problematic but mining slurry pumps designed with the use of smart water technology make all the difference. Mining takes place in rural areas and getting water into the area can be tricky and then getting waste water out of the area can be tricky. Many mines closed down or worked at a loss because of the water situation. Engineers who specialise in water and mining have worked hard at designing wastewater treatment systems, and much more, to ensure that mines can have accessible water and to ensure that they can get rid of water easily.

Mining wastewater systems

A wastewater system in a mining area is going to be complicated, slurry pumps or not. Water is an expensive commodity and water is needed for all aspects of a mine. The water specialists who work specifically with mines and in mining areas know that they have a complicated job to do. They need to custom design a water system for a particular area that includes a  wastewater system. They then need to manufacture this system although bear in mind they have all the parts and equipment in place, so it is just a matter of custom designing the equipment and parts. Then they must transport it to the mine or mining area, assemble the system, do all the necessary checks and balances, and then switch it on. And the job does not stop there.

Maintaining a water system

Water systems and in particular wastewater systems are designed to last for decades. Think of the wastewater systems that you currently use in your homes or offices; you barely know they exist other than they work. They were probably installed decades ago unless they have been replaced by smart wastewater systems. These systems are all maintained. You might not be aware of the maintenance but it is regular and it is ongoing. Parts need to be checked, parts need to be replaced, some equipment needs to be upgraded and a system needs to be cleaned. Your current mining water system may need an upgrade too, to work more efficiently, and it may need some maintenance or even a refurbishment. Again, chat with the experts who specialise in mines and wastewater systems.

Skilled water specialists

It is not your average plumber who designs a wastewater system and it is not your average plumber who fixes your wastewater system. It takes a team of highly skilled people, including geologists, water specialists, environmental specialists, engineers, technicians, designers and more, to design and assemble and get a good water system in tip-top order. Most water system specialists brainstorm and work together, sharing ideas and ensuring that the best systems and the most sustainable systems are put in place. Your language may not include words like sewage, water recycling and even slurry pumps but you are dealing with specialists and they will assess and manage your needs.
