OVERVIEW

Improved Dewatering
for Underground Mines

The DAQUA booster station is designed to deliver safer, simpler, and more cost-effective pumping compared to progressive cavity pump systems. 

Its modular design allows the system to follow the advancement of mine face development, helping operations maintain pumping performance as underground works progress.

By using fewer pumps, motors, and control panels, the DAQUA helps reduce the complexity of underground dewatering systems and simplifies ongoing operations.
