Dewatering pumps come in a variety of different types including piston and submersible pumps. Some dewatering pumps rely on centrifugal forces to remove unwanted water from a site. They’re especially useful for the construction and mining industries where they are used in mines, tunnels, and buildings to pump away excess water. To ensure that the dewatering process is as efficient and effective as possible, a reliable pump with the ability to get rid of water from deep inside the ground is a requisite.

Due to their ability to remove water from soil, dewatering pumps are often utilized by the mining and construction industries to get rid of surface water or groundwater. They may also be used to lower the water table. By lowering the level of groundwater, workers can work safely and more efficiently.

For example, on sites where construction is taking place, it’s often necessary to remove water from the site before drilling and digging can take place to create foundations, etc. Dewatering is also an essential process to safeguard miners and a mine dewatering pump needs to be particularly robust as it will remain in operation throughout the mining operation.
