Eekels Pompen goes through the roof!

Brabants Delta Water Authority has taken one of the pumps at the pumping station out of service for an overhaul and a temporary solution needed to be found to make up capacity. Due to the required capacity in combination with the narrow space available, our project manager discussed this challenge with the customer and came up with the solution of lowering the TPS into the incoming wastewater line through the roof.

This required the roof element to be removed, following which a crane manoeuvred the pump into the pumping station. All in all, a tough job that required meticulous care, however the pump was eventually positioned in exactly the right place. The temporary H12K-SS pump delivers a capacity of 1,500 m3/h and is connected to the variable speed control circuit at the pumping station.
