Editor's foreword
W
elcome to WWT's
latest pump
and valve sup-
plement – our
regular look at
the latest best practice, innovations
and case studies in this area.
The environmental agenda is
at the centre of the water sector's
activities at the moment with com-
panies committing to reach net zero
carbon by 2030.
This is an ambitious target and
pumps and valves will play a key
role in helping the sector to get
there. We examine why and how on
page 27.
Pumps and valves also come into
their own in emergency situations.
On page 36 you can discover how
a rapid emergency response by
specialist hire company SLD Pumps
& Power helped save lives and
property a… er the partial collapse
of Toddbrook Reservoir dam in the
Derbyshire town of Whaley Bridge.
A case study on page 33 looks at
how Geoquip Water Solutions - who
work with pumps experts Franklins
- are using submersible borehole
pumps in an eΠort to improve ef-
Ž ciency.
On page 35, Steve Handy from
Sykes Pumps discusses how a
'whole hire costs' approach to
pump hire procurement can help
generate savings over a hire period.
