Pumping & Pipeline

Integrated pumping and pipeline capability for critical mining infrastructure

Engineering Water Infrastructure

Engineering certainty for mining water management

 

Reliable water infrastructure is fundamental to every aspect of a mining operation, from supplying water to remote sites to managing dewatering, wastewater, and essential services.

Each pumping system must be designed to operate safely, efficiently, and reliably, while also integrating smoothly with the surrounding infrastructure.

Wilshaw provides pumping and pipeline design that combines mechanical, structural and civil engineering. By engineering the entire system, Wilshaw offers a considered solution that enhances whole-of-life operational performance and engineering reliability.

Our Capability

Supporting critical water infrastructure across mining operations

Integrated engineering solutions for pumping, pipelines and water-handling infrastructure


Our capabilities encompass borefields, long-distance pipelines, underground dewatering, wastewater treatment systems, workshops, wash bays, and related services infrastructure. Each project commences with a comprehensive understanding of operational requirements, followed by pumping design engineering, structural support, and mechanical integration into a cohesive solution.

In designing pump skids, pipeline infrastructure, or supporting services, our team provides practical engineering solutions that effectively balance performance, constructibility, and long-term maintainability.

Our Approach

Engineering complete pumping systems

Practical engineering that considers the entire system, not just the equipment.


Effective pumping infrastructure relies on more than just pump calculations. Wilshaw brings together pump selection, pipeline design, structural supports, mechanical layouts, and site constraints into a cohesive engineering solution that performs reliably throughout its operational lifespan.

Collaborating with preferred equipment suppliers and mine operators, we create infrastructure that accommodates vendor equipment, meets operational requirements, and adheres to environmental and regulatory standards.
