Customised trash pumps for contractors
Pumping dirty water containing large amounts of debris on construction and infrastructure project sites can be a difficult task that may require a specialised ‘trash pump’. Dewatering activities can include having to pump water that contains hard and soft solids such as trash, gravel, stones, leaves and twigs.
Integrated Pump Rental states that its customised trash pump sets are a popular and reliable option for contractors and can be customized for specific site conditions. Requirements such as the head height to be pumped, the quantity and flow rate required, and the distance over which the water will be transferred are all taken into consideration in order to ensure optimum pump selection.
The company explains that construction sites often need dewatering to be undertaken at a consistent rate with equipment designed to reduce clogging of the pump. The trash pump can handle solids up to 76 mm in size, with flow rates of up to about 110 litres a second and a maximum head of 32 m. The sets can be either trailer-mounted, with a diesel engine for optimal mobility, or static units driven by electric motors.
The self-priming trash pumps can also be moved into place where large pipelines may have to be temporarily bypassed and large volumes of water need to be moved quickly and reliably. Multiple units may also be used by contractors on remote sites where access is difficult, in order to avoid the need for cranes to move and place large single pumping units.
The company affirms that its expertise and service capability allows it to provide support such as maintenance, repair and replacement parts for its trash pumps.
