Pontoons
Water management is one of the biggest issues in mining; too much, too little or in the wrong place can place unnecessary burden on mine operations. Reservoirs are ever present as a mass storage of water and getting the water out and distributed for use is challenging, considering water quality, access, and logistics. Dowdens manufacture several options with Pontoons being most popular.
Pontoons can be manufactured in various sizes and capacities for the most arduous services from slurry to high discharge pressures. Dowdens Pumping is about designing and delivering a tailored solution to meet your mine’s needs. Call our industrial team today to discuss your specific needs.
