High-performance mining hoses matter, especially on tough Australian mine sites. The mining environment is harsh and unforgiving, so reliable hoses are essential to maintain safety, productivity, and to reduce downtime. 

Dewatering is a critical operation in mining, and poor quality dewatering hoses can fail under pressure, causing flooding, safety risks and major downtime. These hoses play a critical role in controlling water movement, managing groundwater, and supporting pumping systems. 

At Pacific Hoseflex, we’re a trusted supplier of high-pressure dewatering hoses across Australia and globally. Our hoses are engineered to perform reliably when it matters most.

Why is dewatering critical in mining operations?

On mine sites, water can build up quickly if it’s not managed properly, whether it’s groundwater, heavy rainfall or excess process water. This water can create real problems, with overflow and pooling affecting safety, limiting access, damaging equipment, and slowing down production. 

When carried out correctly, dewatering will keep the work environment stable, reduce clip hazards and protect critical machinery.

Dewatering pumping systems can operate for long periods of time, under demanding conditions, so high-pressure hoses in this environment must deal with high flow rates, constant pressure, and the harsh surroundings. If hoses can’t sustain these conditions, the whole dewatering system and site safety can be compromised. 

Important features of high-pressure dewatering mining hoses

Some of the key features of hoses for dewatering include: 

  • Higher burst pressure and working pressure ratings.
  • Reinforced construction to prevent kinking, fatigue and collapse.
  • Abrasion-resistant outer layers to handle rough terrain common in mining environments..
  • UV, chemical and weather protection for durability.
  • Smoothbore design for efficient water flow with lower friction.

Applications of high-pressure dewatering hoses include: 

  • Open-pit dewatering
  • Underground water removal
  • Sump and pump-out operations
  • Heavy rainfall response
  • Tailings dam water control

Pacific Hoseflex dewatering hoses

At Pacific Hoseflex, all our mining hoses are built for harsh conditions, and our dewatering hoses are engineered to deliver reliable, high-pressure performance when your site needs it most. Our range of mining hoses includes those suitable for pit dewatering, sump pumping, flood management and emergency water diversion:

5 ways quality high-pressure hoses improve site safety

  • Reduce the risk of hose bursts and sudden pressure releases.
  • Help to maintain clear working areas and prevent water buildup.
  • Support stable ground conditions in pits and haul roads.
  • Prevent spray hazards that can potentially impact electrical systems or operators.
  • Custom lengths and fittings to reduce trip hazards and installation errors.

Customised mining hose assemblies for complex operations

Dewatering systems can vary depending on geology, water inflow, pump configuration and pit design. These differences demand customised dewatering hose assemblies you can count on. 

At Pacific Hoseflex, our engineers work with mining teams to design site-specific hose assemblies. This customisation allows for better pressure handling, longer hose life, less risk of failure, and improved efficiency. This also includes custom end fittings, pre-formed bends, reducers and Y-pieces designed to suit your exact dewatering setup.

Quality standards for mining operations

Pacific Hoseflex holds NATA, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 accreditations. Every hose we manufacture undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets internationally recognised standards. Relevant certification ensures our mining hoses perform to the highest standard under demanding pressures and environmental conditions, and support mine compliance, environmental management and safer operations.
