Integrated Pump Technology has secured an order for its first Godwin HL150 pump to a mining operation in Senegal, marking a significant step in the company’s ongoing support for mining operations across West Africa.
The trailer-mounted diesel-driven self-priming pump has been selected to provide vital dewatering services for an open pit mine, where fluctuating groundwater levels, particularly during the rainy season, pose a challenge to efficient operations.
Mining operations, especially open pit mines, are often situated in remote areas where power availability is limited. This makes diesel-driven pumps the preferred option, offering the flexibility to be deployed without reliance on external power sources. For the Senegalese mine, the Godwin HL150M pump will provide a robust solution that can be quickly mobilised to where it’s needed most, keeping operations running smoothly even during periods of intense rainfall when groundwater levels rise rapidly.
JD Nel, Godwin Product Manager at Integrated Pump Technology, says the Godwin HL150M Pump was considered the ideal choice due to its exceptional capabilities. “Compact yet powerful, this pump is capable of delivering flow rates of up to 374 m³/h and can discharge water at heights of up to 148 metres. This level of performance makes it perfectly suited for high-demand dewatering applications like those found at this open pit mine,” he explains.
