Pumping Solutions for Water and Waste Pumping

The need to divert a flow of water or waste is a common yet challenging problem our clients face on a regular basis. This may be the result of a leak in a water pipe or sewer main, or simply the need to undertake work due to local construction projects.

Whatever the requirement, we have a wealth of experience in managing these difficult applications.

We always begin the process with site meetings between our specialists, site managers and the end user client, if appropriate. At this stage, different ways of approaching the problem based on criteria such as local conditions (especially residential and traffic considerations), flow rates and accessabilty will be discussed with the best option offered for consideration.

Options would include the different advantages or otherwise of submersible versus diesel pumps, the size and quantity of the pumps, the size and positioning of pipework and considerations such as automatic control of the pumps and site attendance by our engineers. Once the solution is agreed the relevant risk assessments and method statements will be prepared for sign off and the delivery date and time agreed. From that point on our clients can relax, safe in the knowledge that the project will be managed by the Sykes Pumps team.

There will be times when, due to the result of infrastructure damage or failure, there is simply not the time to consider and discuss all the different options, especially when the problem occurs at an unsociable hour or during peak times. In these circumstances we are just one phone call away, whatever the time of day or night, and will use our expertise to resolve the immediate problem with the minimum of fuss. Once the temporary solution is in place, we will then review how the system could perhaps be improved to either reduce the hire costs or improve site conditions.
