When a consulting engineering firm engaged by a South Australian mine needed a robust solution for transferring saline water from tailings dams to the point of use, they turned to Pump Solutions Australasia (PSA) for our proven engineering expertise and end-to-end supply capabilities.
The Challenge
Design and supply a complete pumping system capable of reliably handling highly saline water in a remote and demanding mining environment.
Our Solution
PSA delivered a fully engineered pumping package featuring:
- Gorman-Rupp T6A61S Self-Priming Pumps, upgraded with CD4MCu high-alloy internal wear components
- Remaining cast iron components treated with LOCTITE Sprayable Ceramic Coating for maximum corrosion resistance
- Custom-designed mild steel pump baseplates, fabricated in-house and hot-dip galvanised for durability
- WEG 30kW W22M Mine-Spec Electric Motors, belt-driven at calculated ratios to precisely meet the system’s required duty points
- Complementary accessories, including pipe floats and a polypropylene suction strainer designed specifically for saline conditions
Every aspect of the system—from pump selection and engineering design to fabrication and supply—was completed in-house by the PSA team, ensuring total quality control and rapid turnaround.
The Outcome
A rugged, purpose-built pumping solution tailored to the unique challenges of the mining sector, delivering reliable performance and long-term durability in a corrosive environment.
This project exemplifies PSA’s commitment to delivering innovative, custom-engineered solutions that meet the most demanding industrial requirements.
