Hidrostal Specialist Hire Service Assists with the Restoration of Valuable Reservoir Supply

Hidrostal's specialist pump hire service was recently deployed by Barhale Construction to assist in the restoration of the water supply to a major reservoir in the South of England after serious disruption was caused to the existing intake supply route.

Hidrostal's over-pumping solution provided a quick bypass system to the existing route enabling the contractor to commence repairs without delay.

Barhale Construction were contracted to undertake the major repair project.

The plan was to build a temporary road and put an over-pumping system in place whilst both the original road and the intake supply were repaired.

Hidrostal's specialist hire service was chosen to provide the over-pumping solution.

The requirement was to over-pump at maximum capacity (100 mg/litres day) against a nominal total head of 20m from the limited opening in the existing shaft.

The Hidrostal equipment proposed consisted: Duty Pump 1 x 400kw electric self-priming pump, 17m static head Standby Pump 1 x diesel self-priming pump.

Barhale's Contracts Manager, Peter Marchant, summarises: 'The solution and equipment supplied by Hidrostal is working extremely well.

All major pump suppliers were contacted, but only Hidrostal were able to provide a solution that would pump at maximum capacity in the limited space available in the existing shaft.

What is more, the over-pumping system was operational in less than four weeks from contract award'.
