Urgent Electric Submersible Pump for Longleat Safari Park

With a very quick turnaround time, an electric submersible pump was required for post lockdown reopening of Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire. T-T provided a fast dispatch to avoid any unwanted delays, resulting in a very happy client.

The Problem

First opened in 1966, Longleat was the first drive-through safari park outside Africa and remains one of the UK’s most popular wildlife attractions, pulling in an estimated one million visitors each year. Located between Bath and Salisbury, the park is home to over 500 animals including tigers, lions, zebras, giraffes, hippopotamus and monkeys, as well as a diverse selection of birds and sea creatures. Visitors can explore numerous reserves, including a 60-acre East African Game Reserve, Tiger Territory and Monkey Jungle.

With the relaxation of lockdown restrictions, Longleat Safari Park was preparing to reopen its doors on 12th April. To assist with this, the client required a robust fully submersible contractor’s pump that would provide long-term reliability and durability. The park was due to reopen imminently, meaning a very quick turnaround was required to ensure the works remained on track.

The Solution

After receiving the enquiry, T-T provided a quote within 30 minutes and an order was placed within the hour for a TT505C Fully Submersible De-Watering Pump for clean or silty water.
