Vertical turbine pumps
Goulds Water Technology’s (GWT) line of vertical turbine pumps features superior hydraulic coverage that delivers the pump head and capacity a system requires, while maximizing efficiency and extending pump life. All GWT vertical turbine models come with state-of-the-art pump design, which enables them to be configured as a multistage assembly. This provides flexibility in initial pump selection and future system modifications. GWT vertical turbine models are engineered and customized based on the pump’s application. To meet the needs of each environment, the pump units are available in a wide range of metallurgies for both casted and fabricated components.

Submersible cutters
Dragflow hydraulic cutters EXHY can be attached directly to the pump creating a self-contained excavating system for hard compacted soil where a mechanical excavator would otherwise be required. The cutting head is designed to reduce the cost of wear parts thanks to interchangeable hard teeth. Other features include a robust hydraulic motor; and the cutters are designed to work up to a 250-metre working depth, handled by steel cable.

Control panel
Thompson Pump’s RECON2000T control panel with enhanced functions using interactive technology allows for remote pump control and monitoring, and reduces the time and labour needed on-site. The control panel allows the user to operate the pump and supervise performance from a smartphone, laptop, desktop computer or any other device with Internet access. The unit utilizes cellular and satellite networks for a secure and reliable connection and comes Wi-Fi ready. It gives operators informational access and control over the pump unit with the ability to remotely monitor the unit, record data and vary speed. The dashboard displays all the same pump and engine data as it appears on the RECON2000T control panel on-site. If there’s a problem with the pump or engine, the unit can be setup to notify the user on an Internet-activated device.
