Specialist units
We have two specialist pumping units that are used to move high volumes of water using large diameter hose (100mm and 150mm) powered by a hydraulic pump.
These carry sufficient hose to move water up to 3km. In addition they can also be used for pumping out large volumes of water at flooding incidents.
