New construction-cost saving technology adopted by large-scale drainage pump station - Ushizue drainage pump station

摘要

A new construction-cost saving technology has been adopted at the Ushizue Drainage Pump Station, Saga Prefecture. This technology features the use of compact pumps and peripherals, including their facilitated operation. This technology was developed in an effort to downsize a new pump house, added to an existing one, to save on construction cost, and to upgrade operability and reliability. The new pump house was completed in March 2001 and commercial operation is underway. The following introduces the pumping facility, the high-speed and compact main pump, the high-speed canal, and other technology being newly adopted at Ushizue Drainage Pump Station.
