High Head Contractors Pump saves Quarry Production

A quarry located in the North of England faced an unexpected challenge when heavy autumn rains caused flooding on-site, halting their operations. The water levels had risen to a dangerous point, and the quarry's existing pumps were not capable of managing the volume of water effectively. As a result, production came to a standstill, threatening the quarry's ability to meet its customer demands and risking costly delays.

The Challenge

With the heavy rain continuing into the weekend, the quarry was facing the prospect of extended downtime. The management team was under pressure to find an immediate solution to prevent the flooding from affecting production further. The risk of not meeting customer orders and the looming financial impact made it clear that action needed to be taken quickly.

On Friday afternoon, the Quarry Manager reached out to T-T, looking for a swift remedy to the flooding problem. Knowing that any further delay would have significant consequences, the quarry needed a fast and reliable solution.

The Solution

T-T responded quickly, dispatching a team of engineers to assess the situation. After evaluating the site conditions, the team recommended the KTH 200-37 high-head 37kW contractors pump. This pump, being part of T-T's readily available stock, was the ideal choice for the quarry’s needs. It had the high capacity required to handle the floodwaters and could be delivered and installed in time to avoid further disruptions.

The KTH 200-37 pump was ordered, and within hours, T-T arranged for it to be delivered and installed on-site over the weekend. The installation was completed swiftly, ensuring the quarry could resume operations at full capacity by the early Monday morning shift.

By Monday, the quarry was back in action, with the water levels successfully managed. The KTH 200-37 pump had effectively handled the excess rainwater, allowing the quarry to continue its operations without delay. The quick response and installation not only avoided production losses but also ensured the quarry could meet its customer demand, protecting its reputation and financial stability.

The deployment of the KTH 200-37 high-head contractors pump by T-T proved to be a game-changer for the quarry. The combination of fast action, a reliable pump, and expert installation allowed the quarry to overcome a potentially devastating situation. The ability to restore normal operations so quickly highlights the importance of having a trusted partner like T-T when time is of the essence.
