Flood Control - Wastewater

Flood Control Solutions

Limiting the potential damage of coastal and inland flooding requires a pumps system that won’t fail when required. There’s a lot at stake – initially, protection of people, crops and livestock, and in the longer term preventing contamination, damage to infrastructure.

Ensuring that flood events can be controlled often requires careful planning. The application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations at the design phase enables a tailored solution utilising Grundfos pumps that can cope with the heavy demands of moving vast flows of surface or storm water at low head, for flood control or harbour management. Grundfos axial and mixed-flow pumps are specifically designed for strength and heavy flows and can be installed dry or submerged.

Control and monitoring systems increase the potential for improving both efficiency and reliability. Grundfos supplies pump starters and external variable speed drives (Grundfos CUE), and Dedicated Controls for easy control of pump functionalities.

Grundfos monitoring and control systems include plug-and-play communication interfaces that work with 95% of the communication standards available on the market. A comprehensive range of sensor accessories – such as level, flow and temperature sensors – ensures that you have the data required for your pumps’ control system.

Grundfos can supply the specialist expertise to help meet your performance objectives, from the initial identification of needs, to the selection, installation, operation, and maintenance of the pumping solution.
