Custom Pump Floats for Mine Dewatering
Seven HDPE floats, designed around two pump configurations.
Polyline designed and fabricated seven custom HDPE pump floats for an international gold mining operation in Europe. The dewatering system required two configurations to accommodate different submersible pumps, with each float designed around the equipment and project requirements.
7 custom floats · 2 pump configurations · 55 approved project documents
Designed to fit the equipment.
The project required floats for both 1.5-tonne and 2.4-tonne submersible pumps. We developed two configurations to suit the respective pump sizes within the same dewatering system.
Configuration | Quantity | Approximate dimensions, L × W × H | Float weight, each | Pump weight, each |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Smaller configuration | 2 | 3,000 × 2,500 × 2,000 mm | Approx. 2.0 tonnes | 1.5 tonnes |
Larger configuration | 5 | 4,500 × 2,500 × 2,000 mm | Approx. 3.2 tonnes | 2.4 tonnes |
Custom fabrication allowed us to match each float to its specified pump while meeting the wider installation and engineering requirements.
Built to the project’s engineering standards.
All seven floats were fabricated from HDPE, with material, welding and structural design requirements incorporated into the project.
- Material: HDPE compliant with DIN EN ISO 14632.
- Fabrication: Welding performed to DVS 2207 standards.
- Structural design: Certified to AS 1170.
More than fabrication.
Our team prepared and obtained approval for 55 project documents, covering technical, commercial, installation and commissioning requirements.
Working within the principal contractor’s formal document control system, we managed submissions, tracked revisions and responded to review comments while maintaining the project schedule.
This coordination supported the detailed approval requirements of an international mining project.
Inspected before despatch.
The principal contractor’s inspection team visited our facility to witness fabrication and verify the work against approved drawings and applicable standards.
The completed works received formal quality approval before despatch.
Custom equipment. Complete project support.
This project demonstrates our ability to combine pump-specific float design with HDPE fabrication, structural certification and the documentation needed for demanding mining applications.
From different pump sizes to detailed approval processes, we delivered a solution around the client’s equipment and project requirements.
