Complete Dewatering Solutions for Mining, Civil and Quarry Applications

Fox Global delivers complete dewatering solutions for mining, civil and quarry sites. From 2” layflat discharge hoses to 12” rubber suction hoses and foot valves. Australian family owned with large stock holdings and fast turnaround.

Reliable, Site-Ready Systems from Fox Global

Effective dewatering is a critical requirement across mining, civil construction, and quarry operations. Whether managing groundwater, surface runoff, slurry, or process water, having a reliable dewatering system in place is essential for site safety, productivity, and environmental compliance.

At Fox Global, we specialise in providing complete dewatering solutions designed to perform in Australia’s toughest operating conditions. From 2-inch layflat discharge hoses through to 12-inch heavy-duty rubber suction hoses and foot valves, we offer an end-to-end range that supports projects of all sizes.

Proudly family-owned and Australian owned and operated, Fox Global combines extensive industry experience, large local stock holdings, and fast assembly turnaround to ensure your site requirements are met — without unnecessary downtime.


Dewatering: More Than Just Moving Water

Dewatering is not simply about pumping water from one point to another. A poorly specified system can result in:

  • Unsafe working conditions
  • Pump damage or loss of prime
  • Excessive hose wear and failure
  • Costly delays and downtime

A well-designed dewatering solution, on the other hand, supports:

  • Safe access to work areas
  • Equipment protection
  • Continuous operations
  • Compliance with environmental and site requirements

Fox Global approaches dewatering as a complete system, not just individual components.


Complete Dewatering Solutions — From Suction to Discharge

Fox Global supplies all major components required for effective dewatering, ensuring compatibility, performance, and reliability across the entire system.

Our Dewatering Range Includes:

  • Layflat discharge hoses from 2” and up
  • Heavy-duty rubber suction hoses up to 12”
  • Foot valves and strainers
  • Hose assemblies and fittings
  • Camlock, Bauer and flanged connections
  • Custom-built hose assemblies

By sourcing all components through Fox Global, customers reduce risk, simplify procurement, and receive a system that works together as intended.


Layflat Discharge Hoses (2” and Up)

Layflat discharge hoses are a core component of dewatering systems across mining, civil, and quarry applications. At Fox Global, we stock a complete range of layflat discharge hoses, ensuring the right solution is available for varying pressures, abrasion levels, and duty cycles.

Our Layflat Hose Range Includes:

  • Blue Layflat Discharge Hose
  • Heavy-Duty Red Layflat Hose
  • Black Rubber Layflat Hose
  • Sizes from 2 inches and up

Each option is selected to suit different operational demands — from temporary water transfer through to continuous, high-abrasion applications.


Blue Layflat Discharge Hose

Blue layflat hose is widely used across mining and civil projects due to its lightweight construction and ease of deployment.

Key Benefits:

  • Lightweight and flexible
  • Easy to install and relocate
  • Ideal for temporary dewatering and bypass systems
  • Compact storage when not in use

Common applications include trench dewatering, construction sites, and short-term water transfer operations.


Heavy-Duty Red Layflat Hose

Heavy-duty red layflat hose provides increased pressure capability and durability compared to standard layflat options.

Key Benefits:

  • Higher pressure ratings
  • Improved abrasion resistance
  • Suitable for continuous-duty applications
  • Designed for harsh site environments

Often used in mining and quarry applications where reliability and longer service life are critical.


Black Rubber Layflat Hose

For the most demanding dewatering environments, black rubber layflat hose offers superior performance.

Key Benefits:

  • Heavy-duty rubber construction
  • Excellent abrasion and impact resistance
  • Suitable for long-term or semi-permanent installations
  • Performs reliably in extreme conditions

Black rubber layflat is commonly selected where hoses are exposed to rough ground, heavy equipment, and extended operating cycles.


Heavy-Duty Rubber Suction Hoses (Up to 12”)

Suction hose selection is critical to maintaining pump performance and system efficiency. Fox Global supplies heavy-duty rubber suction hoses up to 12 inches, designed to withstand high vacuum conditions.

Features Include:

  • Reinforced construction to resist collapse
  • Designed for dirty and abrasive water
  • Excellent flexibility for site installation
  • Long service life in harsh environments

These hoses are commonly used in mine pit dewatering, quarry sumps, civil excavations, and emergency water management.


Foot Valves and Strainers

Foot valves are essential for maintaining pump prime and protecting pumping equipment from debris.

Fox Global supplies robust foot valves designed to:

  • Suit rubber suction hoses
  • Handle dirty and abrasive water
  • Improve pump efficiency
  • Reduce downtime and maintenance

Correct foot valve selection plays a vital role in system reliability.
