We are delighted to announce that Sykes Pumps International (UK) and Khansaheb Sykes have signed a renewed Distributor partnership agreement with Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons (Heavy Machinery Division) for the territory of Bahrain.

This renewed agreement was signed with Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons (Heavy Machinery Division) during a recent visit to Bahrain and represents the re-launch of our local supply solution for Sykes dewatering pumps and the full range of pump accessories.

For many years Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons have sold Sykes Pumps into the market of Bahrain for dewatering and ground water control but this new agreement marks a new level of close cooperation between Sykes Pumps International (UK) and Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons.

Almoayyed & Sons Heavy Equipment Division, Mr Ian Atkinson – International Business Development - Sykes Pumps International UK, Mr Dave Crawford – GM – Khansaheb Sykes UAE).

Ian Atkinson from Sykes UK, highlighted that the market in Bahrain has changed.
“Over recent years more pump suppliers have entered in to Bahrain either through cross-border sales or through small workshop factories offering basic pump specifications with limited after sales support. However, together with Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons we offer the extended life Sykes UK pumps into Bahrain - delivering lasting quality and prolonged pumping performance to our Bahraini customers. We focus on the complete service cycle – with comprehensive and unrivalled spare parts and service support being offered through Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons” locally.

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). The UK pumps are effectively “upgraded” for the Middle Eastern 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 Bahrain through Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons offers our important customers in Bahrain with an extended life product.

Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons and Sykes Pumps International (UK) are offering the highest performance Sykes pumps in the market and they also have access to the international Sykes UK and Khansaheb Sykes hire fleet for more short-term demand or for more specialist pumps such as 12” pumps or high head pumps.

For flexible hire and practical solutions to customers facing complex ground water control or general pumping problems, Y.K. Almoayyed & Sons and Sykes Pumps offer a specialist solution.

In order to pump ‘Dirty Water’, this requires specialist dewatering pump expertise.

Due to the reputation of Khansaheb Sykes and our broad range of pumping solutions, the client was able to award this contract with confidence – knowing that the job would get done quickly and professionally.

In order to commission a newly constructed sewage treatment plant, fluid from an existing operational plant (some 10km away) had to be pumped though an existing pipe network into the new plant.

Sykes 12” pump solution – handling sewage and dirty water

To achieve the required flow, a 12” dewatering pump with a pumping capacity of 1000m3/h was set to work.

The route of the intended discharged water (prior to the outlet chamber) was through an existing green belt area, therefore, to protect this area a 12” PVC pipe extending 1km in length was used to protect the environment.

Once again Khansaheb Sykes have delivered not only the optimal pumping solution but also have managed this requirement whilst respecting and protecting the environment.

When a key customer situated on Saadiyat Island in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi contacted Khansaheb Sykes to devise a dewatering solution for the removal of ‘Dirty Water’ from a vast holding tank, we were only too pleased to assist them.

The customer required a large holding tank to be emptied on a daily basis in to a mobile fleet of water tankers, however, they had no easy solution at their disposal to pump this liquid.

To solve this problem, Khansaheb Sykes used 4 x 6” model GP150M Electric Driven dewatering pumps (3 duty & 1 essential standby) to extract the dirty water quickly and efficiently out of the holding tank - pumping directly into the waiting tankers.
Using this solution, the client has a capacity to fill 70 tankers per day – optimizing their fleet.

With more focus on protection of the environmental, the electric powered pumps from Khansaheb Sykes also eliminated any risk of fuel spillages, and minimized sound and exhaust emissions on site.

Khansaheb Sykes electric powered 6” pump sets – delivering a high volume pumping solution while also respecting the environment.

Khansaheb Sykes’s dewatering expertise within the pumping sector is unrivalled in the Middle East and we are always available to provide you with practical solutions to complex problems - no matter how big or how small.

Khansaheb Sykes is proud to have been awarded the dewatering services contract for this prestigious and high value project and is pleased to have once again delivered all essential dewatering jobs on time.
