Our latest thinking on customized water and wastewater management solutions.

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...

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...

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...

When choosing a high-performance pump for bypass and dewatering operations, you need a pump that is reliable and durable. And when working in residential areas or near hospitals and schools, you’ll need one that’s quiet, too. That’s why sound attenuated pumps make the best choice when renting or purchasing pumps for projects in noise-sensitive areas,...

The current focus on improving our nation’s infrastructure means many aging sewer systems will be repaired or upgraded in the near future. A comprehensive sewer bypass plan includes project scope, site considerations (traffic, environment, and noise), equipment required, emergency response plans, and a regular maintenance schedule, as well as scheduling and workforce required. Choosing the...

Temporary treatment system for emerging contaminants Emerging contaminants that affect groundwater used for drinking water are becoming a frequent concern for water management, specifically in urban areas in the Northeast United States, where heavy manufacturing was historically prevalent.  As a result of groundwater contaminants percolating into earthen aquifers, water utilities are becoming increasingly aware and...
