Application:  Dewatering a flooded mine .

Process Need:  Pump 3000 GPM of water from a point 400 feet below the surface in a flooded mine. Diesel pumps not acceptable due to exhaust fumes.

Solution:  PP&S ​​engineered a portable electric driven pumping system that can be towed down into the mine to achieve the customer’s requirements. ​The design included a Cornell pump and 4160 volt 700 Hp. motor with soft starter.  Due to the weight of the components, a trailer capable of handling 14,000 pounds load was configured to achieve optimal operation.

ROI:  ​ In addition to providing the necessary pumping solution, this package was designed, constructed and delivered very quickly despite backorders on some of the equipment.
