Mobile Dewatering Units for Mining and Industrial Applications | MultiTorque 2025
When water management is critical to the success and safety of your project, you need equipment that’s fast, reliable, and built to move. At MultiTorque, we specialise in mobile dewatering units designed for demanding applications across Australia — from remote mining operations to infrastructure projects, construction sites, and emergency response.
Whether you need groundwater removal, tailings dam dewatering, or stormwater control, our trailer-mounted systems offer the flexibility and performance to get the job done right.
What Are Mobile Dewatering Units?
Mobile dewatering units are self-contained pump systems designed to remove unwanted water from a site. Typically mounted on trailers or skids, these systems include:
- A high-performance pump (diesel or electric)
- Fuel and control systems
- Discharge piping or hose reels
- Optional automation (e.g. float switches, timers)
- Trailer chassis for off-road and site mobility
They are designed for fast deployment, efficient operation, and ease of relocation — making them ideal for projects where conditions change quickly or where permanent installations aren’t viable.
Applications for Mobile Dewatering Units
MultiTorque’s mobile dewatering units are trusted in multiple industries:
🟢 Mining
Groundwater inflow in open-cut pits or underground mines can delay operations, increase risks, and damage equipment. Our units manage:
- Pit dewatering
- Tailings dam water control
- Emergency water removal after heavy rain
🟦 Construction & Civil Projects
Water accumulation on-site can stall progress. Our systems support:
- Excavation and foundation dewatering
- Stormwater management
- Roadwork drainage
🟡 Quarries & Sand Pits
Efficient dewatering helps control moisture levels in material stockpiles and excavation zones.
🟠 Emergency Response
Rapid-response units for flood recovery, dam overflows, and wastewater surges.
Why Choose MultiTorque’s Mobile Dewatering Units?
We don’t just supply pumps — we engineer complete mobile dewatering systems from the ground up, designed specifically for Australian conditions.
✔️ Built for Harsh Environments
Our trailers and pump assemblies are fabricated to handle heat, dust, vibration, and terrain across remote QLD, WA, and beyond.
✔️ Diesel & Electric Drive Options
Whether you’re off-grid or site-powered, we build for flexibility. Diesel units include onboard fuel tanks and battery start, while electric units can be VFD-compatible for flow control.
✔️ Custom Configuration
From pump type to hose kit length, every unit is tailored to your project. Need automated start/stop? Flow sensors? Bunding? No problem.
✔️ Fully Mobile
4×4-compatible trailers and forklift-compatible skids ensure smooth site logistics. Easy to tow, drop, and activate.
✔️ Backed by Service
With branches in Brisbane and Perth, MultiTorque supports your operation before, during, and after deployment. We offer servicing, spare parts, and upgrades for all units — even if we didn’t build them.

Custom Pump Configurations Available
We offer a wide range of pump types depending on your application:
- Centrifugal Pumps – High flow, ideal for groundwater
- Diaphragm Pumps – Handles slurry or solids-laden fluids
- Progressive Cavity Pumps – Precision flow for sludge or chemical dosing
- Submersible Pumps – Drop-in solution for deep pits or tight spaces
Each mobile unit can be fabricated to your exact spec — including twin-pump redundancy, remote telemetry, or solar-battery hybrids.
Recent Project: Coal Mine Dewatering – Central QLD
A coal operation in Central Queensland faced rising groundwater inflow, causing delays and safety risks. MultiTorque delivered:
- Two trailer-mounted diesel dewatering units
- Custom pipework with quick-connect fittings
- Float switch automation
- On-site training and commissioning
Result: 24/7 hands-off dewatering with zero failures over 6 months. Client has since ordered four more units for satellite operations.
Maintenance and Servicing
Mobile dewatering units are often exposed to rough environments, so proactive maintenance is critical. MultiTorque offers:
- On-site or workshop servicing
- Impeller and seal replacements
- Diesel engine tune-ups
- Hose replacements and upgrades
- Control panel testing

How to Choose the Right Mobile Dewatering Unit
Before choosing a dewatering unit, consider:
- Flow rate and total head – How much water do you need to move, and how far?
- Solids content – Are you pumping slurry, silt, or clean water?
- Power availability – Diesel or electric?
- Site access – Can trailers or skids reach the location?
- Automation needs – Do you need float switches or timed activation?
We’ll work with your team to spec out the ideal solution, with lead times and delivery suited to your project schedule.
