Sweden: Holding Millions of Litres at Bay - Page 2 of 2
Armed with information from past projects at Trollhättan, staff from Grindex’s technical department assisted Sjuntorps Industrisupport AB with the sizing of the pumps. With 37 million litres of water to be drained before work could get started, 3 slurry, 22 drainage and 1 sludge pump (including stand-by pumps) were recommended, the largest of which can handle 12 m³ water/min. Work began emptying the locks on Friday night, and by Sunday at around midday the job was completed and work could begin on the renovations. “The drainage pumps were used for the first stage and the sludge and slurry pumps were used to remove the water under the upper floor of the locks,” says Grindex sales engineer, Rolf Mejbert. “This water is quite different to the majority of the water as it’s much denser. Mud, sediment and even quite a lot of fish can be found down there. Fortunately we were able to pump the fish out without harming them,” he concludes. The Grindex pumps remained on site throughout the project removing rainwater and water leaking through the canal doors. According to Håkan Ohrling, of Sjuntorps industrisupport AB, “This is the third time that we have assisted The Swedish Maritime Administration with this operation. On a project of this scale, with so much at stake and so many contractors relying on you, everybody needs to know that your pumps can handle the task at hand, keeping the locks dry around the clock. Therefore, we had a service agreement to ensure that the pumps were operational throughout the process.” After 25 days the project was deemed a success and the canal was re-opened to shipping.

Coming to Intermat 2012? Visiting trade events in other countries is important for many in the industry. They make it possible to see what is new and what direction machines and systems are going. They also present a convenient opportunity to meet with many companies. However, for many, it is important to be able to have contact with their offices and to be able to access emails and this can often be a problem or very costly. The Intermat 2012 organisers are making available a FREE TO USE internet service and we had hoped to be the sponsors. Unfortunately, although Contractors World magazines did offer to sponsor it, the Intermat organisers insist on the internet café being unsupervised. This could make it very difficult to use and also makes it impossible for us to meet our readers. Why come to Intermat 2012? Intermat 2012 is the most important international trade event for the construction and related industries during this year. With new emission regulations being implemented, it can almost be guaranteed that every major equipment manufacturer will have something new to offer. If you are unable to make Paris, then Contractors World look forward to keeping you informed through appropriate reports in the lead up to and after the event. |
