The station is installed directly on the water. They are most applicable on reservoirs of natural or artificial origin with a large steepness and difference in the heights of the banks or with significant fluctuations in the water level. The station is located on the surface of the water and the water supply takes place regardless of changes in the water level in the quarry. Open pit drainage pumping stations are the main technological equipment of the open pit drainage system during mining operations.

Standard equipment of the floating pumping station:

Pontoon (catamaran type, transportable, with a coating resistant to aggressive agents);

Block-box (in various climatic versions);

Pumping equipment (high-pressure pumps, drainage, borehole, emergency submersible, vertical, multistage, horizontal centrifugal, diesel driven pumps);

Pipeline with stop valves (including a floating pipeline, a pipeline on unsinkable pontoons, flexible, protected from abrasive and aggressive media); Automatic control system;

Air conditioning and heating, ventilation, power supply, fire extinguishing system;

Anti-icing system;

Anchor, mooring device, boat, if necessary, bridge or flooring on unsinkable pontoons, railings Repair platform with a lifting device;

Lighting and alarm system.
