IPR (Integrated Pump Rental), a leading specialist in dewatering and dredging solutions, has reported seeing strong demand growth for its ranges of submersible pumps across Southern Africa. This trend is being driven by the continued expansion of mining activities, infrastructure upgrades and the need for reliable water management solutions in both surface and underground operations.

The company, as part of Atlas Copco's Specialty Rental Division, supplies a comprehensive range of electric submersible pumps including the robust Atlas Copco WEDA dewatering, sludge and heavy-duty slurry pump ranges. These units are engineered to handle the demanding conditions found in applications such as sump dewatering, open pit dewatering, slurry movement and general water transfer duties. IPR’s technical teams work closely with customers to match the right pump to each application – whether it involves clean or dirty water, high solids content or abrasive slurry.

The Atlas Copco WEDA submersible pumps are widely recognised for their portability, efficient performance and durability in harsh conditions. These pumps are ideal for drainage and sludge pumping tasks in both mining and construction environments. The range includes options for light to heavy sludge and slurry, with various motor and impeller configurations available to meet site-specific needs.

Furthermore, the WEDA L range of heavy-duty slurry pumps stand out for their ability to pump highly abrasive slurries with high solids concentrations. Fitted with agitators and specially designed impellers, these pumps are built to perform in environments where conventional pumps would fail, such as in settling ponds, slurry dams, and dredging operations.

IPR offers both rental and outright purchase options across its submersible pump fleet, giving customers flexibility based on their project timelines and budgets. This model has proved especially attractive for operations looking to reduce capital expenditure while maintaining access to high quality equipment and responsive technical support. Rental contracts can be structured to suit short, medium or long term needs and are supported by IPR’s maintenance and service teams to ensure ongoing performance.

The company’s ability to assess application requirements, specify the right equipment and deliver rapid support has made it a trusted partner to the mining, construction and industrial sectors. With demand for submersible dewatering and slurry pumps showing no sign of slowing, IPR’s investment in high performance equipment - backed by global OEM partnerships- continues to position it as a market leader in tailored dewatering solutions.
