PUMPS & VALVES
Africa’s dewatering specialist scales new heights with grindex global milestone As mining operations across Africa delve deeper and extend further into remote terrain, the demand for effective reliable water management solutions has never been greater. Rising to this challenge is South Africa-based Integrated Pump Technology, whose rapid expansion, technical depth and customer-first mindset have now earned it global recognition with the company being named the largest distributor of Grindex pumps in the world.
Godwin diesel-driven pumps, available from Integrated Pump Technology, deliver reliable dewatering performance in regions where electricity supply is limited or unavailable.
I t is a remarkable achievement for a company that only opened its doors in 2014 but one built on decades of expertise and a sharply focused business model. Modern Mining spoke to Managing Director, Jordan Marsh about the company’s journey. Built for harsh realities “From inception, Integrated Pump Technology’s purpose has been clear - to offer fit-for-purpose dewatering solutions tailored to the real-world challenges faced by African mines and industries,” Marsh says. “Whether the problem is high rainfall, groundwater ingress or slurry-filled sumps, we established a solid reputation by providing technically sound rapidly supported answers.” “Our strength has always been understanding the conditions our customers work in - whether it is a remote open pit in Senegal or a deep underground operation in Zambia,” he says.
“Our pump solutions are built to withstand these extremes, but more importantly we support them with on-the-ground expertise and fast response.” The company’s longstanding alignment with Grindex, a Swedish manufacturer known for its robust electric submersible pumps, has underpinned this approach. These pumps are designed to operate in the toughest environments - with cast aluminium bodies, wear-resistant internal components and an advanced SMART motor protection system that shields against common electrical faults. Dual power, dual capability But Integrated Pump Technology doesn’t rely on just one solution. In many African regions, electrical power remains unreliable or entirely unavailable. That is where the company’s other major offering - Godwin diesel-driven pumps - comes into play.
