Dewatering 3/3

This is the final stages of pumping, we had to pump a smaller holding area over a berm into the forebay so the 10" could suck it out. The crazy wind sounds are from the 60-80km/h winds we had that day! It was so crazy at one point we both got blown across the pond by the wind.

There are a number of dewatering systems, pumps, and wells. For example, I am a recruiter searching for a dewatering expert who has the ability to manage a dewatering program at a mine site. This would include dewatering a open pit mine, leach ponds, tailing ponds, monitoring wells, as well as the managing the dust program. This video only highlights the pump used for this instance.

@telaphn I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say, but I'm glad the video was of interest to you, look forward to future comment from you!

Sounds like someone is blowing the mic.

@vantagetes - Don't you just love management people? They often spend so much time trying to make the cost effective decision that they lose sight of the correct approach to achieve the objective. They had 2 months to decide on the bottom finish, then waited till it was done to figure out what they wanted. lol

@specialks1953 I pumped that stupid pond down for 2 months so we could finish the bottom as requested. When I finally got it pumped they waited 2 weeks while they decided on the "final design" then the temp went to -25*C and it snowed 2ft. Needless to say we pumped it out again the next year...

@vantagetes - OK buddy, I just had hoped for a little more of a view from, maybe the original video point. I see you caught my humor. It is good when people do not mistake humor for an attack. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for posting them. - I bet it took a long time to drain.

@specialks1953 This is pretty much the end, we were pumping out the last few feet in this video.

@vantagetes HEY! That's not fair. I started at #1 thinking I would see the results of what it looked like after you Dewatered the pond. You are such a tease. Shame on you. I expect something like that from a woman, that is their way of life but I didn't expect it from an operator & vidiographer of your caliber.
