Our latest thinking on customized water and wastewater management solutions.

Nothing slows down a dewatering project more than equipment that malfunctions or breaks and needs to be replaced or repaired before water can flow again. Because submersible pumps are an integral part of many dewatering applications – from groundwater pumping during excavation, to sewer bypasses and quarry and mine dewatering – routine maintenance and servicing...

High head pumps are expected to move significant amounts of water, often uphill, for long periods of time. The Atlas Copco PAC H series of pumps are rated for max flow of 6400 GPM, max head up to 508 feet, and can handle solids up to 3.5-inches. That’s powerful stuff, but these high head pumps...

It’s a new year, and with it we’re proud to tell you about our name change.  As experts in pumping and power applications for heavy construction, we at FieldForce felt it appropriate to lead with our core competencies – our specialties in complex pumping applications and mobile power supply. We are now FieldForce® Pumping &...

Submersible pumps are a key component of many  projects, from construction dewatering to mining and industrial applications. These best practices will help keep your submersible pump in excellent shape. Best practices #1: Before you start your submersible pump Key to keeping your pump in prime condition is to pick the right submersible pump for the...

There are multiple ways to dewater a construction site, such as creating a wellpoint or using an eductor. But one of the most cost effective and simple is an end-suction pump, connected to a sump. The sump, a pit or a hollow that exists naturally on site or that’s been excavated, collects the water. That...

Heavy rains and flooding can overwhelm a sewer system causing overflows, backups into homes, and environmental damage. So can aging pumps and equipment failure. An emergency sewer bypass plan helps to get you back online as quickly as possible. An effective plan prepares for urgent and emergency sewer bypass situations by including an overview of...

With federal funds available to strengthen our aging infrastructure, many municipalities are repairing or renovating storm and sanitary sewers. Sewer bypass pumping jobs use plugs and surface pumps like the Atlas Copco PAS series to bypass the section of pipe requiring repair and keep effluent moving. Pneumatic plugs Pneumatic plugs are comprised of an inflatable...

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is one of the most commonly used materials in temporary pipeline construction today, often used in oil and gas, municipal water systems, and heavy civil construction. The poly pipe is joined by a method that makes it seamless and virtually leak-proof, preventing spillage and reducing potential environmental issues. Utilizing the expertise of...

How Can Temporary Bypass for Wastewater Management Benefit from Automation? The Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act), described as a once-in-a-generation investment in our nation’s infrastructure, aims to deliver clean water to all American families and eliminate the nation’s lead service lines. Many municipal water and wastewater systems will require substantial upgrades while...

There are many factors that go into effective fluid management during bypass and dewatering operations. One of the first considerations when choosing a pump is what type of effluent will you be pumping. Factors such as fluid weight, pH level, and the presence and size of any solids play a pivotal role in ensuring the...
