A depth challenge, met with expertise

When our client entrusted us with the mission of equipping several shafts reaching up to 175 meters, we knew that precision and safety would be essential.

We supplied five high-performance submersible pumps, designed to withstand the conditions of the mining environment. But our role didn’t stop at delivery: we provided training and on-site supervision for the teams, ensuring installation met the standards.

Thanks to the Altra piping system, renowned for its robustness, each pump was installed with optimal reliability.

Result: secure shaft dewatering, enabling efficient water treatment and uninterrupted operations.

This project illustrates our commitment: turning technical challenges into sustainable, high-performing solutions.
