Case study
Mining Slurry Handling and Water Management Support
Project Overview
A large surface mining operation required a reliable solution for continuous mining slurry handling and site-wide mining water management during peak production. Existing infrastructure was experiencing frequent wear due to abrasive material transfer and changing site layouts.
Challenge
The operation needed a system capable of transporting abrasive slurry and process water while remaining adaptable to evolving pit conditions. Downtime caused by hose failures and rigid pipeline limitations was impacting productivity and maintenance schedules.
Solution
Anaconda supplied a combination of HDPE mining pipe with Bauer fittings for the main mining pipeline system, supported by industrial mining hoses and Lay Flat hose for flexible connections and temporary routing. The system was configured to handle abrasive slurry flow and high-volume water transfer without extensive installation time.
Results
- Improved reliability in mining fluid handling and mining slurry handling
- Reduced maintenance intervention due to improved abrasion resistance
- Faster deployment and reconfiguration as site conditions changed
- Consistent flow performance across water transfer and slurry transport operations
Key Takeaway
By combining rigid HDPE pipe with flexible mining hose solutions, the operation achieved a balanced system that supported productivity, reduced downtime, and improved operational control in demanding mining environments.
