| Project Overview: |
The project involved the refurbishment of two major storm water pump stations for NI Water at Portaferry Road and Comber Road in Newtownards, Co. Down, Northern Ireland. The underground and dated nature of the two sites made the project particularly challenging as old penstocks, pumps and heavy pipework had to be removed before installation of the new equipment. Each station had 4 No. pumps operating Duty/Assist/Assist/Standby
The flow rates at each site were:
Portaferry Road:
4 No. pumps rated at 677 l/s each
Capacity of 3 No. combined: 2031 l/s
Comber Road:
4 No. pumps rated at 833 l/s
Capacity of 3 No. combined: 2449 l/s
