Barhale Construction were contracted to undertake the major repair project.
The plan was to build a temporary road and put an over-pumping system in place whilst both the original road and the intake supply were repaired.
The Hidrostal specialist hire service was chosen to provide the over-pumping solution.
The requirement was to over-pump at maximum capacity (100 mg/litres day) against a nominal total head of 20m from the limited opening in the existing shaft.
The Hidrostal equipment proposed consisted of a Duty Pump (400kw electric self-priming pump), plus a 17m static head Standby Pump (a diesel self-priming pump).
Barhale Contracts Manager, Peter Marchant, summarises: 'The solution and equipment supplied by Hidrostal is working extremely well.
All major pump suppliers were contacted, but only Hidrostal were able to provide a solution that would pump at maximum capacity in the limited space available in the existing shaft.
What is more, the over-pumping system was operational in less than four weeks from contract award'.
