Sykes Pumps provides over-pumping solution for local council

Sykes Pumps was recently approached by a major building and civil engineering company and asked to help assist with the repair of a local culvert.

Before work could take place, our engineers were required to provide an immediate pumping solution to over-pump the stream โ€“ cleaning out all the silt build-up and then removing old metal sheeting to allow the contractor to replace it with a new one.

Our response was to propose the hire of an 8โ€ submersible alongside a smaller 6โ€ submersible to catch excess water. We also provided a 60kVA generator and a separate fuel tank to enable quiet operation within a densely-populated neighbourhood.

This solution worked perfectly and all works were completed in record time โ€“ underling our ability to meet client objectives whilst also complying with the local Environment Agencyโ€™s instructions. The client was extremely pleased with the temporary pumping equipment, keeping the units on hire until the repairs had been completed.
