Course overview
Mine Site Water Pumping Stations & Pipelines is a practical and interactive course providing attendees with guidance on the design, analysis and operation of water pumping and pipeline systems used throughout mining and minerals processing operations.
The course covers the complete water transfer system lifecycle, including hydraulic fundamentals, pipeline sizing, pump selection, water hammer, air management, valve selection and common design and construction issues encountered on operating mine sites.
Practical engineering concepts are reinforced through worked examples and real-world case studies drawn from mine dewatering systems, raw water supply systems, decant return systems and off-site discharge pipelines.
The course has been developed for attendees who require a stronger understanding of mine water systems and the interaction between pumps, pipelines, valves and operational constraints.
Delegate pre-requisites
Delegates should have a basic understanding of engineering principles relevant to fluid systems and some prior exposure to pumping systems, pipelines or water infrastructure.
Previous attendance at KASA’s Pump Fundamentals and/or Liquid Piping Systems Fundamentals courses is advantageous but not essential.
