Mining
IPI’s packer solutions are being increasingly
used by cost and environmentally conscious mining operations.
Key applications include:
Permeability Testing, where IPI can offer for sale or rental either
its hydraulic Standard Wireline Packer System (SWPS) or the more
conventional nitrogen packer systems, plus flow meters where required.
Mine de-gasification – using hydrofracture
equipment
Block caving
pre-conditioning – also using hydrofracture
equipment.
In addition, mines often have use for water wells or, sometimes, a
water well style solution for dewatering, for which please also see
our water
well section. For remote mine sites the provision of a long life,
high quality water well is also a great idea for local community relationships.
