In an emergency response, Protech Rental Services was the company responsible for solving a severe flood at a station on the Catalan railway network (FFCC)which had become completely inoperative due to heavy rains. This station was part of the suburban network that connects with the city of Barcelona.
Immediate response with rental of flood pumps
To deal with this emergency, the client contracted a comprehensive flood pump rental service, which included transport, assembly and commissioning of the pumping system in record time.
Thanks to the experience of our team and the use of self-priming pumps specialized in liquids with suspended solids, it was possible to transfer more than 50,000 m3 of water and sludge in a few hours, restoring the operation of the station in less than 24 hours.
Equipment used in the intervention
Three high-performance pumps were used in this operation, available from our centrifugal pump rental service:
- Centrifugal self-priming vortex diesel pump
Flow rate: 800 m 3/h | Solids passage: 125 mm - Self-priming centrifugal pump
Flow rate: 750 m 3/h | Passage of solids: 76 mm - Self-priming centrifugal pump
Flow rate: 350 m 3/h | Passage of solids: 76 mm
All of them operated with the support of a portable generator, ensuring energy autonomy throughout the intervention.
