Coerco: Supporting Tower Hill Pit Dewatering with Advanced Solutions

Download Case Study

The Challenge: Dewatering Tower Hill Pit

Genesis Minerals faced the critical challenge of dewatering Tower Hill Pit in Western Australia to safely commence mining operations. This required a high-capacity pump system capable of delivering water at 80L/s while integrating seamlessly with the site’s SCADA telemetry system and incorporating a robust leak detection mechanism to ensure operational safety.

Greenlands Equipment’s Turnkey Solution

Greenlands Equipment delivered the complete turnkey solution for this project, which included:

• Design and Engineering: Developing a comprehensive dewatering system tailored to the site’s requirements.
• Equipment Manufacture: Ensuring all components met the rigorous demands of mining environments.
• Installation and Commissioning: Overseeing the on-site setup and integration of the pump system, pipework, and leak detection system.

Coerco’s Key Contributions

Coerco played a vital role in supporting Greenlands Equipment’s execution of the project by supplying precision-engineered products that met the project’s high-performance standards.
