→ APPLICATIONS / PIT DEWATERING
XPEL pit dewatering systems reduce water levels, stabilize working areas and handle a wide range of water qualities in open pits, enabling mine operators maintain access, manage inflows and keep production moving.
PIT DEWATERING
Effective pit dewatering demands fast, consistent removal of accumulated water to keep production moving, maintain safe access and stabilize working faces.
XPEL delivers the high-volume evaporation performance needed to convert standing pit water into vapor quickly, even as conditions shift with rainfall, inflows and geology.
By atomizing large volumes into fine droplets, each XPEL pit dewatering system accelerates evaporation at the source and reduces water levels that can restrict equipment movement, limit recovery zones or stall development. This engineered output remains steady across variable water quality, including high solids, sediment loads, and chemistry fluctuations common in active pits.
Reliable evaporation contributes directly to pit stability by managing inflows, reducing hydraulic pressure on pit walls and preventing overtopping events that complicate downstream water circuits. Improved control over water volumes also strengthens overall water balance, supporting safer, more predictable mining operations.
With performance proven in demanding regions and across diverse ore bodies, XPEL offers a cost-efficient approach to controlling pit water without relying solely on pumping or large buffer storage. Its consistent evaporation output helps mines meet regulatory expectations, protect critical working areas and maintain productive, uninterrupted operations.
Pit dewatering applications.
■
Pit dewatering supports operations that require controlling rising water levels in active or abandoned excavation areas. XPEL helps these environments maintain access, manage inflows and stabilize working conditions through high-capacity evaporation that reduces dependence on mechanical pumping or costly water transfer.
-
XPEL applies pit dewatering selectively in oil and gas settings where surface depressions or excavation areas accumulate water, supporting safer access and more stable site conditions during production or maintenance activities.
-
XPEL supports open-pit mining operations with high-capacity pit dewatering that lowers water levels, maintains safe working areas and enables continuous access to recoverable resources.
-
XPEL assists legacy and industrial sites with pit dewatering solutions that help manage accumulated water in abandoned or historical excavation areas, improving site stability and long-term environmental performance.
PRODUCTS
Land based
evaporators
Fully customisable and bespoke in design, our XPEL land based water evaporators are available in a range of sizes enabling operators to reduce the risks associated with excess water and ensure environmental compliance with a wide range of water processing capabilities.
Pontoon
evaporators
When land based units aren’t an option, the XPEL Pontoon Series evaporator is a water management solution that can be relied on to help reduce the risk of excess water and ensure environmental compliance by reducing the volume of water stored on-site using mechanically enhanced evaporation.
