At Acquafront Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. (AIPL), we are experts in cutting-edge floating products with key applications in various industries. A prime example is the application of floating pontoons in the mining industry, specifically for dewatering.
Water management is one of the most important challenges of mining. Floating pontoons provide a sensible, cost-effective, and flexible platform to facilitate this process.
Floating pontoons are portable HDPE or Mild Steel floating Pontoons on water. They can bear pumps, pipes, control units, and even people. Constructed to endure heavy loads and harsh conditions, these pontoons are made to be flexible, long-lasting, and safe.
Conventional dewatering processes usually entail the construction of land-based pump stations, which is time-consuming and expensive. Floating pontoons offer a cost-saving, mobile, and rapid-installation option.
1. Pump Installation on Water
Floating pontoons provide platforms to position all the pumps (Eg: Horizontal Split Case pumps, Submerged Pumps, submersible or vertical pumps) directly over water bodies, enabling pumps to take water directly from pits, reservoirs, or submerged mining areas.
2. Mobility and Flexibility
Pontoons may be moved as water levels fluctuate, providing pump consistency without constructing new platforms or moving pipelines.
3. Stability and Safety
Engineered to be balanced and weight-distributed, pontoons provide for the equipment to operate safely, even in challenging terrains.
4. UV, Chemical, and Corrosion Resistance
AIPL Mild steel pontoons weather out, remain resistant to chemicals, and resist harsh mining environments.
5. Lower Operation Shutdown Time
Instalment with speed and ease of movement leaves less disturbance to mining activity amid heavy rainfall or seasonal floods.
Open Cast Mines: Pontoons mount the pumps which continually drain water and rainwater, or ground-accumulated water.
Sand and Gravel Pits: Floating pump systems ensure best working levels for excavations.
Flooded Quarries: When monsoons occur, pontoons facilitate easy drainage of water without stopping work.
AIPL provides:
Mild Steel Pontoons or Steel Integrated Floating Jetty (SIFJ) pontoons designed to meet site requirements.
Anti-slip load-carrying designs for smooth pump working.
Anchoring and mooring systems to provide stability in mining ponds or pits.
Export-ready pontoons for national or international mining customers.
Turnkey assistance from planning through on-site deployment.
