High flow rate Sykes pumps allow bridge building in OMAN Wadis

After recent flash floods in inland Oman, many of the roads were simply “washed away”.

Due to the frequency and intensity of these floods, a major road rebuilding project was announced by the Ministry of Transportation and Communication / Directorate General of Roads for the “Repairing of Cyclone Damages on Wadi-Thaiyeen”.

This prestigious project was won by Galfar Engineering and Contracting S.A.O.G. which included the building of a series of bridges spanning the wadis to raise the road network so that traffic can flow unhindered by seasonal flooding.

Al Ansari Trading Enterprise LLC – the Sykes Pumps Omani Distributor, consulted closely with Galfar Engineering and Contracting to calculate the high flow rates necessary for the ground water control while the bridge foundation works were being completed.

Then in close cooperation with Khansaheb Sykes, a fleet of high flow rate pumps (8” and 12” diameter intake and discharge) were mobilised to complete this specialist job – closely monitored day to day by Al Ansari Trading.

Ian Atkinson (International Business Development Director from Sykes Pumps UK) stated,

“This is another example of the flexibility of solutions that can be achieved by working so closely with our distributor partners. Al Ansari offers the highest levels of expertise and services, and when coupled with specialist pumping solutions from Sykes Pumps, our partnership offers an unrivalled range of pumping solutions in Oman”.
