Abstract: This article provides information on water drainage in open-pit mines. It is noted that operation of the dewatering borehole systems is considered one of the most efficient methods in Russian mines for draining water from the walls of open-pit and strip mines. It is pointed out that sand carry-over into the dewatering boreholes requires the use of borehole filters operating in conditions of erosion and corrosion wear. Ensuring reliable operation of the dewatering borehole filters is a pressing challenge. This article proposes a method for the strength analysis of the filtering elements in the rod-frame filters with helically wrapped wire. It justifies a loading model for the wire filter elements, and provides formulas for their strength analysis. The study included a strength analysis that was performed using the proposed method on the wire-wrapped filter elements made using wires with triangular and trapezoidal cross-sections. It was found that the filter elements made of the trapezoidal wire have higher strength compared to the filter elements made of the triangular wire, and that the filter elements with larger diameters require a greater number of rods in the frame to ensure the specified strength. Based on an assessment of the opening area ratio of the filter elements considered, a conclusion is made that in order to ensure the strength of the filter elements it is optimal to increase the number of rods in the filter frame. It is demonstrated that for the optimal design of the filter elements it is recommended to use wire with the cross-sectional of no more than 5 mm. The strength analysis methodology proposed in this article and the conclusions drawn from its implementation in the manufacturing and operation of the borehole filters ensure high reliability of their operation.
