Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has upgraded one of its drainage pumping stations with the introduction of a new Archimedes screw pump retrofitted alongside two existing axial flow submersible pumps. The project was designed and installed by ECS Engineering Services, UK supply and service agent for Landustrie, with initial energy consumption figures showing a reduction of more than 40% compared to the original arrangement. With responsibilities to maintain almost 2,000 miles of flood defences, main rivers and more than 4,000 sluices, outfalls, floodgates and barriers, Natural Resources Wales (NRW) has a great deal of involvement in the waterways of Wales. Part of its responsibility is to maintain the drainage systems and ensure that they operate as efficiently as possible.
