C-Zone Dewatering Installation Project

THE PROJECT

With the C-Zone Dewatering Installation, Acres is responsible for delivering a high-efficiency dewatering system specifically designed to manage water flow in the newly developed C-Zone area. Key components of the system include:

• Two 36-meter steel bolted conical tanks designed to provide optimal water collection and storage, making the dewatering process more manageable.
• Two transfer station tanks that facilitate the smooth transfer of water through the various stages of dewatering.
• Eight high-performance pumps, each powered by 250 horsepower motors with variable frequency drives (VFDs), ensuring efficient water removal and providing the flexibility needed for the dewatering process.
• Tie-in to the existing PS-1 dewatering station, allowing for seamless integration with the existing infrastructure and enhancing the overall system’s efficiency.

This sophisticated dewatering system is key for the C-Zone block cave expansion, preventing water accumulation that could disrupt mining activities. It also reduces the risk of flooding and ensures the long-term safety and productivity of the operation.

The C-Zone Dewatering Installation Project is just one of many New Gold projects our team has had the privilege of working on, and we’re proud to play a role in supporting the mine’s continued growth and operational efficiency.
