Dewatering Services
Mine Dewatering Solutions Built for Perth and WA Conditions
Uncontrolled water is one of the biggest risks on any mining or construction site, it delays schedules, compromises safety and threatens infrastructure. Effective dewatering keeps operations dry, safe and productive from the first bore to final discharge.
Silverstone delivers dewatering services for mining, infrastructure and construction projects across Perth and regional Western Australia. From bore installation and pump station design through to discharge management and ongoing operation, our teams keep water under control so your project can keep moving.
What Our Dewatering Services Cover
Dewatering That Keeps Perth and WA Projects Moving
Every site’s water challenge is different – geology, ground conditions, groundwater behaviour and project timelines all shape the right dewatering approach. Getting it wrong costs schedule, safety and budget.
Our team combines hands-on field experience with practical engineering to design and deliver dewatering systems that are fit for purpose, quick to mobilise and reliable under Perth and Pilbara site conditions.
How We Approach Dewatering
01
Site & Water Assessment
Understanding groundwater conditions, inflow volumes and project timelines to determine the right dewatering approach before any equipment is mobilised.
02
System Design
Engineering bore layouts, pump station capacity and pipeline routing sized to actual site volumes and discharge requirements.
03
Installation & Commissioning
Installing bores, pumps and pipeline infrastructure, then testing and commissioning to confirm the system performs as designed.
04
Ongoing Operation
Running and monitoring the dewatering system through the life of the project, adjusting to changing water conditions as they occur.
05
Compliance & Reporting
Supporting the licensing, monitoring and reporting obligations that come with dewatering operations in WA.
06
Decommissioning
Safely decommissioning bores and dewatering infrastructure at project completion, restoring sites in line with project and regulatory requirements.
Why Choose Silverstone for Dewatering
Dewatering only works when the system is sized right the first time. Undersized pumps, pipelines and poorly planned bore fields cost projects time and money, oversized systems waste it.
Silverstone combines engineering, field delivery and equipment supply under one team, so your dewatering system is designed, installed and operated by the people who understand how it actually performs on site not handed off between separate designers and contractors.
Dewatering Questions We Get Asked
What is mine dewatering?
Mine dewatering is the process of removing groundwater or surface water from a mine site to keep pits, shafts and working areas safe and operational, typically using bores, pumps and pipeline systems.
Do you provide dewatering services in Perth?
Yes. Silverstone delivers dewatering services for mining, construction and infrastructure projects based in Perth and across regional Western Australia, including the Pilbara and Goldfields.
Can you design and install a complete dewatering system?
Yes. We provide end-to-end dewatering delivery, bore installation, pump station design and supply, pipeline infrastructure, commissioning and ongoing operation.
Do you handle temporary dewatering for construction sites as well as long-term mine dewatering?
Yes. We deliver both short-term construction dewatering and long-term operational dewatering systems for mining sites, scaled to the project.
How long does a dewatering system take to mobilise?
Mobilisation typically takes two to three months, depending on the complexity of the system design and the project requirements.
Do you manage compliance and discharge approvals?
We work with specialist environmental consultants to help address the environmental compliance and discharge approval requirements associated with our dewatering projects. The support required is determined by the project scope and site-specific requirements.
