Diesel-Driven Pumps for Dewatering

Dewatering is the removal of excess surface water or groundwater from a site to enable construction, mining, or other operations to proceed safely and efficiently. By controlling water accumulation, it helps prevent delays, structural issues, and other water-related complications. This process is widely used on construction projects, in mining activities, and in locations susceptible to flooding.

Dewatering Pumps are designed for Dewatering in Construction, Mining, & Flood Control. Our pumps, such as the BA & PT Series, deliver high performance, reliability, & industry-leading fuel efficiency. With sound-attenuated compact canopies for quiet, efficient operation in demanding environments.

BBA Pumps who are our trusted Dutch partner manufacture all of our dewatering diesel-driven and centrifugal pumps for dewatering applications. They are a leading manufacturer of mobile pumps and piping systems for over 70 years and use the highest quality materials and components for their pumping systems.

Dewatering pumps have many advantages, some of which include:

• Low operating costs: Cost-effective and sustainable with low emissions.
• Robust and durable build: Feature corrosion-resistant materials that can effectively deal with solid laden fluids and heavy-duty bearing frame for keeping internals safe.
• High solids handling: Pumps can handle solids of up to 145mm max.
• Sound attenuated: BBA pumps operate quietly.
• Versatile: Often available in both open-frame and canopy-mounted configurations. There are a wide range of pumps in our Dewatering Pump catalogue and can be used across many applications and industries.
• Mobile: Pumps can be customised for easy transportation using open-frames, forklift pockets, lifting hooks, compact tractor frame, canopy mountings and crane hooks.
• Customisable: Many different motor options can be used for pumps for tailored solutions and frequency inverters and control panels can be added.
• Safety: Pumps can be fully bunded, lockable, and feature inspection covers and lights.

Most common industries and application use for Dewatering pumps are:

• Well dewatering
• Wastewater handling
• Emergency flood control
• Land reclamation
• Sewage handling
• Sewer bypassing
• Industrial dewatering
• Construction
• Firefighting
• Irrigation
• Agriculture & Horticulture

Selecting the appropriate dewatering equipment is crucial for efficient water management. Key considerations include:

• Water Volume and Distance: Calculate the amount of water to be removed and the distance to the discharge point to determine the pump size and type
• Pump Types: The BA Series from BBA Pumps is ideally suited to dewatering tasks, and includes various diesel and electrically driven pump sets suitable for various applications
• Pump Execution: For mining and construction, wear-resistant pumps with large free passages are essential to handle abrasive materials and prevent damage
