The FLOATING PUMP is a unique equipment, with unmatched capabilities and applications. The Pump is a complete and integrated operative unit, designed for continuous operation, capable of handling very large flows. |
 |
It can be installed and placed in operation in a short period of time, without the need to make civil constructions, required for other type of pumps of similar or even inferior flow rates.
The FLOATING PUMP is an extraordinary tool for urban or rural installations, or where it is either impossible or too expensive to build classical pump stations, for instance flooding control or emergency operations. Its structural design and construction materials are designed for long term, continuous operation |
