A sewage treatment works called Sykes Pumps early on Sunday morning due to their main site pumps not able to cope with the heavy rainfall over the weekend. Both Basildon and Charlton depots were in a position to help the Sewage Treatment Works avert the potential risk of the facility flooding.
Seven of Sykes 8” diesel pumps were onsite within 2 hours of the initial call and installed by experienced engineers in under 3 hours. As sole supplier to several water companies, Sykes Pumps are excellently positioned to supply a wide range of pumping solutions to assist Sewage Treatment Works in removing excess water from the plant. A 4 hour guaranteed response time to any call out providing peace of mind that Sykes Pumps can provide the peace of mind and customer service that are second to none.

Mid July, the peak of the Air Conditioning season for Andrews Sykes, saw a surprising increase in enquiries for heaters. Andrews Heat for Hire sales are hotting up along with the summer temperatures! Not what you would expect, we agree, but it isn’t so usual for the specialist hire industry.
This week a leading engineering company hired 20 DE95 heaters for two weeks to complete a series of load tests to check the functionality of the new air conditioning system that was being installed. Another customer hired 120 DE65 heaters to load test the electrical circuits of their latest construction project.
The short term (average load testing hire is for one week) hires of heaters has seen the nationwide network of Andrews Sykes depots extremely busy with the volume of heaters flying out of the door!

A tourist attraction in the North East of England called upon Sykes Pumps for their help when their beach located pump that provides fresh seawater to the attraction’s aquarium failed. Without this pump the well-being of the species in their care were put at risk, meaning many of the animals needed to be transported to other similar facilities around the country - a fatal option for some of the residents. An evacuation procedure such as this would not only be costly to arrange and execute, but would also loose hundreds of thousands of pounds in lost revenue at the height of the summer season.
The Sykes Pumps team were able to offer an emergency response within 4 hours of the initial call to not only provide the facility with a temporary pump to keep the attraction open, but also managed to source the parts and provide an experienced engineer to repair the original pump in record time; meaning the facility could remain open and the precious animals could remain in their acclimatised habitat without disturbance.
This is a perfect example of how Sykes Pumps strive to provide the highest levels of customer service in an efficient and professional manner. If you would like to find out more information on the equipment and services that Sykes Pumps provide, please visit www.andrews-sykes.com

Sykes Pumps were able to come to the rescue of a major tourist attraction in the North West.
