Pumping up flood prevention

摘要

KSB and Ferrier Pumps have continued their long standing partnership working on a ￡3.6M flood prevention scheme for Renfrewshire Council. This involved planning and collaboration on the front end design, pump testing, supply, installation and commissioning of all the pumps and ancillary equipment. Ferrier Pumps, a KSB distributor in Scotland, carried out the mechanical and electrical installation for George Leslie which was the main contractor for the project. The work was commissioned by Renfrewshire Council as part of the overall ￡10M flood prevention scheme for the town. The project involved KSB supplying four variable speed submersible pumps from its axial flow Amacan pump range and one variable speed sump pump of type Amarex KRT, to the North Renfrew Flood Prevention Scheme near Glasgow. KSB also supplied the 8oomm diameter pump discharge canisters which are currently installed in the Storm Pumping Station situated on the south bank of the River Clyde.
