Atlas Copco is expanding its range of WEDA electric submersible pumps in response to increased requirements on dewatering pump wear resistance and autonomous operation. The four new models feature Atlas Copco’s patented Wear Deflector Technology, which draws on the company’s engineering design expertise combined with modern modelling and manufacturing techniques to deliver superior pump reliability and longer service life in extremely arduous operating environments.

Atlas Copco’s footprint and expertise have improved critical dewatering operations on a strategic infrastructure project in The Philippines. The Dipolog-Dapitan bridge project is one of several development initiatives on the island of Mindanao, intended to boost economic growth in the region. Despite high levels of rainfall, safe working conditions have been maintained and the project has been kept on schedule through the deployment of Atlas Copco dewatering pumps.
