A fast response just lately saved the day for an IPR customer, who wanted an urgent contaminated water bypass.
“We instantly sent a pump rental quote following the customer’s name, and specified four Sykes CP150 medium head dewatering pumps,” says Andre Strydom, rental growth supervisor at IPR. “These were delivered and commissioned on site the following day, with 1,500 m of a hundred and fifty mm lay-flat hose and all different needed gear.”
Time was of the essence, as these pumps had to provide four bypass water lines for a contaminated water source which could not be launched into the river system. The four Sykes pumps easily maintained a constant circulate fee of a hundred ninety m³ per hour over a distance of 700 m. They ran on a 24-hour foundation to make sure a constant water move by way of the four pipelines.
Strydom says the Sykes CP150 dewatering pumps were ideal for the job. They provide a maximum head of 60 m with a flow rate of 172 litres per second. It can be capable of dealing with solids with particle sizes of up to 77 mm.
“The Sykes CP150 models additionally feature refined automated priming capabilities,” he says. “These are primarily based on a Venturi system that can ship suction lifts of as a lot as 9 metres.”
The sturdy building of the pumps ensures optimum reliability and lengthy life. Importantly, they can run dry for prolonged durations of time with out damage. The pumps also boast low fuel utilization and lower maintenance prices, and can operate in ‘snore’ conditions.

“This time, the need was for four high head Sykes XH150 rental pumps,” says Strydom. “They were delivered on the same day, with 2,800 m of lay-flat hose with clamps and straight connectors.”
Each of these Sykes additional excessive head pumps delivered a move of 220 mᵌ/h over 1,200 m. He highlights that the pumps can be primed with long suction hoses and might manage suction lifts of as a lot as 9 metres.
The Sykes XH150 dewatering pumps, offering a most head of one hundred seventy m with a maximum flow price of a hundred and forty litres per second and capable of dealing with solids with particle sizes of up to 43 mm, were greater than appropriate for the duty.
“ เพรสเชอร์เกจ provides computerized priming and solids handling functionality,” he says. “It also has one of the best shaft stiffness ratios of any computerized priming pump available on the market.”
