Delivering reliable dewatering solutions: A case study with a construction company

Posted Date 19/04/2024

At Sykes Pumps, we take pride in providing top-quality pumping solutions to our customers across various industries. Recently, we had the privilege of working with a construction company on a dewatering project in Howden.

The challenge

The customer required a reliable and efficient dewatering solution to clear standing water from their site and redirect it to the main drain off-site. This was crucial to ensure a safe and productive working environment for their team.

Our solution

To meet the company’s needs, we supplied two Super Wispaset 100 pumps, complete with two 1000-liter external fuel tanks. Our experienced team conducted a thorough pre-delivery inspection at our Doncaster depot, ensuring the pumps were in optimal condition before deployment. On the day of installation, our expert technician was on-site to position the pumps strategically and connect the fuel lines from the external tanks to the pumps. This seamless installation process ensured that the dewatering operation could commence without delay.

Pump hire averts drainage issues on residential site

Posted Date 13/07/2021

When a major housebuilder working on a new residential development in Surrey encountered a drainage issue on site, they turned to Sykes Pumps for assistance. The problem stemmed from the fact that many homes were already occupied before connections had been fitted to the drainage system installed beneath the properties.

Essentially, this meant that rainfall was retained inside a manhole which needed to be continuously emptied to prevent it from overflowing and flooding the surrounding area. The client indicated that they expected a significant delay caused by difficulties with getting the connections sourced and fitted to resolve the issue.
