Mine Dewatering Pumps: The Backbone of Safe and Productive Mining Operations | MultiTorque 2025
Mining is one of the most demanding industries in the world, and water is one of its biggest challenges. Whether it’s groundwater infiltration or rainfall accumulation, excess water in a mine can threaten safety, stall production, and damage equipment. That’s where mine dewatering pumps come into play — removing water quickly, efficiently, and reliably.
At MultiTorque, we supply, service, and support a full range of mine dewatering pumps built to withstand Australia’s harshest conditions. From custom mobile trailers to high-performance submersible systems, our solutions keep your operations dry, safe, and on schedule.
Why Mine Dewatering Pumps Are Critical
Water in a mine isn’t just inconvenient — it’s dangerous. It causes:
- Delays in excavation and drilling
- Increased wear and corrosion on equipment
- Slope failures or pit wall collapse
- Health and safety hazards for personnel
Mine dewatering pumps are designed to remove water from active mining areas, haul roads, and underground tunnels. These pumps protect infrastructure, maintain productivity, and support compliance with environmental and safety regulations.
Types of Mine Dewatering Pumps
MultiTorque supplies and supports several major types of mine dewatering pumps, depending on site-specific needs:
1. Centrifugal Dewatering Pumps
These are ideal for surface mines where high flow rates are needed. They handle large volumes of water quickly and are commonly skid-mounted or trailer-mounted for mobility.
2. Submersible Pumps
Used in underground mines and pit bottoms, submersible mine dewatering pumps operate below the water line. They’re compact, efficient, and built to withstand abrasive and corrosive materials.
3. Positive Displacement Pumps
Great for high-head applications or when water is mixed with slurry, chemicals, or other viscous materials. These pumps offer precise control and excellent reliability.
4. Custom Dewatering Units
Need a fully mobile, towable trailer system? MultiTorque builds custom dewatering pump trailers to meet your specific site and transport requirements — engineered in-house with Australian conditions in mind.
Custom Solutions for Australian Mining
Not all mine dewatering pumps are created equal. At MultiTorque, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. We provide tailored solutions that address your mine’s layout, depth, water type, and operating hours.
We specialise in:
- Mobile dewatering trailers for rapid deployment across large sites
- Diesel or electric-powered options for off-grid or connected locations
- Auto-prime capabilities for intermittent flow sites
- Corrosion-resistant materials for handling brine, slurry, or acidic water
- Remote monitoring upgrades to improve control and efficiency
Our goal is to maximise uptime and minimise manual intervention.

Case Study: Dewatering at a Queensland Open-Cut Mine
Recently, MultiTorque was called in to support a large open-cut coal mine in Queensland facing flooding after a series of heavy rains. Our team delivered:
- Two high-capacity centrifugal pump trailers
- On-site installation and commissioning within 48 hours
- Ongoing maintenance and performance monitoring
The result? Zero downtime, full operational recovery in 3 days, and the mine now uses MultiTorque for all future pump servicing.
