Rising to the challenge: adapting to overcome market obstacles

Posted Date 07/09/2023

At Sykes Pumps, we take pride in our ability to overcome challenges and provide innovative solutions for our clients. Recently, in Macclesfield, North Cheshire, we undertook a challenging project for the local council.

They required a new headwall to be installed on a concrete culvert, necessitating the removal of water from site to create a suitable base for the structure. Thanks to our expertise and the strategic planning process of our sales engineers, we devised an efficient and effective solution to tackle this demanding task.

As we celebrate Earth Week, it’s important to consider sustainable solutions when enquiring about a pump from our customer service team. At Andrews Sykes, we offer a range of eco-friendly options to help protect our planet and your budget.

Consider telemetry systems

As industry leaders, we have been using telemetry systems for years – and we’ve recently upgraded our remote monitoring equipment to allow customers to troubleshoot issues remotely. This accessory provides live feedback on key information, such as fuel levels and efficiency, eliminating unnecessary trips and limiting energy consumption.

Sykes Pumps launch new Bentonite Pump range

Posted Date 05/08/2015

As a company committed to expanding our hire fleet, Sykes Pumps are delighted to unveil a new range of specialist Bentonite pumps. Driven by popular customer demand, our technical team have developed two new models: the B150 and the B150E.

Manufactured specifically with the construction, utility and civil engineering sectors in mind, these bespoke innovations have been developed around our existing GP150M both in terms of specification and performance.

Available in two versions – B150 (diesel engine) and B150E (electric motor) – the Bentonite pump has been designed for projects where deep piling or excavation work is being carried out. Both models deploy a 60 cfm rotary vane vacuum which ensures automatic delivery of prime and re-prime whenever required.
