Pumping water, sludge and slurry from mines, quarries and construction sites is a vital part of keeping operations streamlined.

Checking Pump Installations Ahead of Rainy Season

With the rainy season on the way in much of southern Africa, Integrated Pump Technology is urging pump users to check that their equipment is still up to the task. Mines in particular face the risk of disruption if pits or shafts are not dewatered quickly enough. The company even conducts site assessments to ensure that the right capacity is in place and is fully serviceable.
