Sewage Over pumping – specialist solution from Khansaheb Sykes

Friday, November 11th, 2011

Khansaheb Sykes were able to assist a key contractor on the Prestigious Yas Island (Abu Dhabi) by overcoming a challenging over-pumping application. This was to control the flow of ‘Dirty Water’ from within a fully operational sewer network during essential refurbishment.

With deep manholes and a high flow rate of over 600m3/hr of ‘Dirty Water’, Khansasheb Sykes had to mobilise a more specialist solution to assist this client as a conventional diesel unit could not achieve the required flow and head on this occasion.

Khansaheb Sykes utilised one of their KE203 8inch Sewage Submersibles to extract the dirty water from the open chamber and pump directly back into the Sewer Network 600m away via a network of 8inch Pvc delivery hoses.

With continued attention on environmental issues such as sound, fuel spillage and emissions, this electric pump used was ideal for this application. As an additional precaution against electric power failure however, a Sykes GP200 (8inch) diesel pump was also connected into the suction line for essential backup.

Khansaheb Sykes’s expertise within the Pumping Sector again ensured that we handled this customers challenging requirement quickly and professionally. 

We provide the optimal pumping solutions for any project (no matter how big or how small).

Renewed Distributor Partnership for Sykes Pumps in Kuwait

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

Signing of new distributor agreement (during recent visit between Ian Atkinson from Sykes Pumps and Mr K.K.Aggarwal, General Manager, Ali Alghanim & Sons Heavy Equipment)

Signing of new distributor agreement (during recent visit between Ian Atkinson from Sykes Pumps and Mr K.K.Aggarwal, General Manager, Ali Alghanim & Sons Heavy Equipment)

– offering the most comprehensive dewatering and pumping solutions in Kuwait.

It is with great pleasure that we announce that Sykes Pumps International (UK) Ltd and Ali M.TH. Alghanim & Sons General Trading w.l.l. (a member of Ali Alghanim & Sons Group of Companies) have signed a renewed and exclusive Distributor Partnership Agreement for the territory of Kuwait.

This renewed agreement was signed with Ali M.TH. Alghanim & Sons General Trading w.l.l. during a recent visit to Kuwait and represents the re-launch of our local pump supply solution for Sykes dewatering pumps and the full range of Sykes dewatering pump accessories.

The market in Kuwait is forecast to continue growing in coming years on the back of increased spending on utility networks, roads infrastructure and building of more residential and industrial zones. By signing this new agreement, the strong relationship between Sykes Pumps and Ali Alghanim & Sons Heavy Equipment is reinforced further and we will continue to forge a closer working partnership to serve the increased demand for dewatering pumps sales, pump hire and pump accessories in Kuwait.

Ian Atkinson from Sykes UK, highlighted that, “Recently more pump suppliers have entered into Kuwait either through cross-border sales or through local distributors offering basic pump specifications with limited after sales support.  However, the Sykes/Ali Alghanim distributor partnership is different - we offer the extended life Sykes UK pumps into Kuwait with a comprehensive spare parts and service back-up through Ali Alghanim & Sons Heavy Equipment”.

Mr Atkinson also stated, “Sykes auto-priming pumps from UK are constructed from very durable high quality castings and are fitted with high grade bronze pump internals as standard for Kuwait. The UK pumps are effectively “upgraded” for the Kuwaiti market because after almost 40 years operating within this market, we understand more than anyone how demanding this environment can be – pumping salt water and operating in temperatures sometimes in excess of 50 degrees C. The Sykes pumps UK manufactured specification – supplied exclusively into Kuwait through Ali Alghanim & Sons Heavy Equipment offers our important customers in Kuwait with an extended life Sykes pump for maximum reliability and trusted proven performance on site”.

Recovery of water logged construction site

Wednesday, May 4th, 2011

 

Khansaheb Sykes were recently contacted to offer an urgent solution for the ingress of groundwater entering an already excavated site through its shoring walls.  Dewatering of this site was already taking place, however, the current provider could not deliver the specialist solution required for the additional nuisance water.  The customer contacted Khanshaeb Sykes with almost 40 years experience of dewatering sites within the Middle East – asking us to urgently take over the dewatering activities and to deliver a ‘Dry site’ for its safe and productive development.

In this case our engineers implemented a ‘French Drain’ system in order to control the additional ingress of water.  Drains were excavated along the shoring wall with spurs coming off, thereby ensuring that all the groundwater was controlled and discharged rapidly and efficiently through the Submersible Pump located within the Deep Wells.

A ‘French drain’, is a trench or excavation which is covered with gravel allowing the surface and groundwater to be redirected away from a specific area.  A French drain can also have perforated hollow pipes located along the bottom to quickly extract water that seeps through the upper gravel layer.  French drains are common drainage systems, primarily used to prevent excessive ground and surface water from penetrating or damaging expensive foundation works.

Khansaheb Sykes has an unrivaled reputation within UAE for delivering any Dewatering and Ground Water Control jobs (small or large) and our long-term local experience means we will always implement the most efficient system for our customers quickly and professionally – reducing project costs and reducing risk of water damage to site.

Riding the Stormy Water – Deep Well Dewatering

Thursday, January 27th, 2011

Essential Dewatering expertise was required from Khansaheb Sykes during 2010 to support the Prestigious ‘Yas Island’ project in Abu Dhabi.

A large new ‘storm water pumping station’ was needed as part of this major development within Yas Island and this required specialist dewatering due to the deep excavation work.

A section of this project was for a 700m storm water pipe to be installed 18m below the natural ground level.
Here Khansaheb Sykes’s specialist expertise within Dewatering solutions was called to action. Due to the depth of excavation, Deep Well Dewatering was best suited for this project. In total, 17 Deep Wells were installed and operated by fully trained Khansaheb Sykes personnel (on a 24hour basis), thereby maintaining an essential ‘dry area’ for the client to carry out all their essential works.

Sample section of Storm Water Line – showing the Khansaheb Sykes deep well dewatering solution in Abu Dhabi.

SP80 Submersible Pump Hire

SP80 Submersible Pump Hire

Khansaheb Sykes the leader in Dewatering and Ground Water Control within the UAE has introduced the Pumpex SP range of electric submersibles into its hire fleet to compliment the companies’ range of Wellpoint Dewatering and Ground Water Control Pumps.

The Pumpex SP range of electric submersible sludge pumps are ideal for pumping sludge, water with large sludge content and contaminated liquids. These light, portable hard wearing pumps are compact in design, reliable and simple to install and maintain, they are capable of delivering heads of 32meters and a capacity of 30 litres per second.

The larger units range from 80mm to 300mm, the amount of material that the sewage pumps can shift depends on the size of the pump, the constitution of the material, and the addition of an impeller and the particular application.

Working in conjunction with our vast Dewatering and Ground Water Control projects within the UAE, a number of these pumps have already been utilised on Sewage projects at Yas Island. Here the customer required a high head electric submersible pump capable of pumping dirty water and with the capacity of discharging over 100 metres.
