When your client puts up infinite trust and expectation resting their UG coal mine dewatering onto non-stop coal production, a vendor directly becomes a stake holder in such projects. Stakes are unprecedented which demands absolute command a vendor must have over complete pump system design. Imagine the responsibilities when pumping has to be carried out down all the way from 2460 feet below ground to do this job non-stop.
The award of such bespoke project in March 2021 saw the entire team of RWTPL comprising Mechanical, electrical, Instrumentation to conduct multiple brainstorming sessions to conceptualize various grassroots design. Our team stood closely with client to supervise the entire pump installation, large 3300 V VFD’s panels, OFC cables, PLC’s. The word challenge is an understatement when we execute such project.
The pumping system has been designed to handle suspended solids as frequently found in UG coal mines. For the first time in pump history, each pump head was designed for 264 meters head at 1500 rpm and still handle 25mm of solids. With 3 pump in a battery and without break sump, the pumps perform flawless to ensure perfect UG water control, thereby contributing to UG coal production. Often in such mines any water pump could fail within few hours to days. It took unprecedented level of engineering design carried out by RWTPL for having designed this system to achieve practically 24×7 NON stop pump working, after handling few many teething troubles.
Our entire team at RWTPL are so thrilled to execute such a bespoke project absolutely one of its kind project in the world.
