Draining the obstacles: Sykes Pumps clears the way following underpass flood

Posted Date 24/05/2023

Following a period of heavy rainfall, Network Rail requested our intervention after a site in Cumbria became inaccessible due to a build-up of water.

Flooding beneath a railway bridge was preventing the passing of road traffic, prompting the installation of a temporary pumping solution.

Our client reported that this was a recurring issue and requested that a 4″ super silent pump and 1,000-litre fuel tank be delivered to the location as quickly as possible.

It was decided that the rainwater would be pumped into a beck approximately 140 metres away from the scene of the flooding, with a significant amount of pipework needed to complete the application.
