Andrews Sykes

Sykes Pumps have been contacted by members of a local fishing club that were experiencing major problems with oxygen deficiency at a fishing lake under their control. The hot weather had resulted in the loss of over 600 fish, a costly and traumatic experience for the members. Our experienced staff at the local Sykes Pumps depot recommended the use of our Venturi Aeration system to solve the situation.

Sykes Pumps mobilised their Venturi system the same day and the system was up and running within a few hours ensuring the oxygen levels increased to the extent that no further fish were lost. The package system, incorporating a Sykes 6” silenced pump, hoses and the Venturi Aerator is simple and easy to install with no moving parts and requires little supervision once installed.

Sykes Pumps has supplied a complete pump hire solution for a 6,500 tonne sweetening deck and bridge structure. Having now left Hartlepool for its final offshore destination, it has now been successfully installed offshore, some 30 miles north-east of Peterhead in Scotland.

Sykes Pumps supplied a complete pump hire solution including a combination of over 100 pumps and submersible pumps, cabling, control panels and hoses. An expert team from our Sedgefield depot including Richard Box, Stephen Giles, Steven Parsley, Jason Sturgeon and David Jury was formed to ensure the successful completion of the project.

John Gallagher-Worthington, Northern Sales Manager of Sykes Pumps says: “Completing such a challenging project effectively and safely is a major accomplishment. It demonstrates again that Sykes Pumps is uniquely positioned with the expertise and capacity to execute large offshore projects”.
