The Challenge

El Volcan Mine was facing a excess water that required dewatering. During rainy season the Mine area suffers from constant floods due to high level groundwater that wasn’t taken under consideration.

In addition, the client was looking for a quick and easy to install solution, since the pipe was going to be suspended, and a regular pipe will require supports.

650 meters of Pexgol pipe was provided. The installation was done in a quick and efficient way, and count with Pexgol technical support during the whole process.
