What is an Underground Dewatering System?

An underground dewatering system removes unwanted water from below-ground environments such as mines, tunnels, and basements. These systems are critical for maintaining safe working conditions, reducing wear on equipment, and meeting environmental discharge requirements.

A well-designed dewatering system typically includes:

Submersible pumps or vertical multistage pumps
Progressive cavity or diaphragm pumps for sludge
Robust pipework and hosing
Electrical controls or air starter systems
Trailer or skid mounting for easy relocation
Flow meters, check valves, and filtration if required

At MultiTorque, we engineer solutions that fit your site—not the other way around.

Trailer-Mounted Dewatering Systems

Our trailer-mounted dewatering units, branded under our BoreBoss range, are a top choice for underground and remote access sites. These compact units are engineered to handle high water volumes, include fuel tanks for extended run-time, and are rugged enough to be dragged through mud and rock.

Each build is fully customisable with options like:

Flow rates from 100 to 1,000 L/min
Auto-start and float switch control
Explosion-proof motors and fittings
Fold-down or enclosed frames for low-clearance entry

Need to build one to spec? We can fabricate and deliver fast.
