Rapid growth in recent years has led dewatering pump specialist IPR, formerly Integrated Pump Rental, to relocate to a new and larger facility in Hughes, Jet Park. IPR’s managing director, Lee Vine says the expanded workspace will accommodate its exponential growth, while still allowing room for further expansion. The company’s recent rebranding from Integrated Pump Rental reflects its growing market offering.

While there is sometimes a case for buying dewatering pumps and associated equipment outright,
renting offers so many advantages that it should always be given close consideration. This is the
view of Lee Vine, managing director of dewatering and dredge pump rental specialist IPR.
Taking another step upward as a leading dewatering pump and dredging specialist, IPR has been awarded the master distributorship for the Atlas Copco pump range
With the wet season on its way in many parts of South Africa, there is imminent danger of operational disruption due to flooding or inundation. This affects mining, construction and a range of other industrial sites. It is good to know that leading dewatering specialist IPR has geared up with more pumping capacity to help customers to dewater sites at short notice.
IPR recently provided a pump dewatering solution to a repeat customer, and then undertook the complete rebuild of a damaged pump set. Henru Strydom, operations manager at IPR, says that dealing with a pump rental company that has the expertise and capability to undertake a complete pump overhaul was a major advantage for this manufacturing sector customer.
In any working environment, the risk of water contamination demands immediate attention. So when a customer called dewatering and dredging specialist IPR for help, it took just 24 hours before pumps were running on site. IPR rental development manager Andre Strydom says this was all the time they needed to quote, deliver and commission their Sykes dewatering pumps.
Established just seven years ago, IPR is growing rapidly with a rental fleet that has tripled its rental fleet since 2021, and will use Electra Mining Africa 2022 to showcase its pump dewatering and dredging market offering. The company is the sole agent in southern Africa for the globally recognised Sykes range of diesel-driven pump sets and is also able to supply other brands such as Grindex, Godwin and Atlas Copco.
Every dewatering project is different, but most do require the using of accessories such as hosing and flotation systems. IPR carries a comprehensive range of Pump Flotation Devices (PFD) and Hose Flotation Devices (HFD) which are available for either purchase or hire.
Having earned its reputation in the mining sector as leading dewatering specialists, the IPR team today boasts the engineering capacity to build customised, diesel-driven pump solutions for the market. Managing director Lee Vine says it is not enough to offer off-the-shelf products, as dewatering is not a one-size-fits-all challenge.
