The pontoon would be guided out into the centre of the reservoir and then anchored down on each corner, to ensure it remained in prime position on the water. Xylem Rental installed four Flygt NS3301 pumps within the floating pontoon, three of the Flygt pumps were for regular pumping duty with the fourth installed as a standby pump for periods of heavier pumping requirements. Decommissioned More than 300m of heavy duty pipework was also installed to connect the pontoon to the tem- porary pumping station, with Flygt variable frequency drives installed in the station, to ensure optimal running of the pumps and the most efficient pumping possible. The rental solution from Xylem meant that the main pumping station could be decommissioned and work could begin on this significant part of the expansion works. The new Abberton Pumping Station is now fully operational and the expansion project has been a huge success. The level of the reservoir has been raised by a total of 3m, which will eventually lead to a 60% increase in the overall capacity of the reservoir. Mick Boyle, rental manager at Xylem Water Solutions, com- ments: "The project at Abberton Reservoir has been a huge suc- cess. The installation Xylem pro- vided enabled ESW to continue to supply water to their supply region as usual and highlighted our ability to design bespoke temporary dewatering systems and ensure that our customers achieved the end result they desired." Kevin Packard, acceptance engineer at ESW, says: "We were delighted with Xylem's innova- tive approach to our pumping needs during this project. The bespoke solution meant that we could continue to supply the best quality water to our cus- tomers while the new pumping station was being built." n The only annual conference dedicated to the evolving needs of the Scottish water industry, Water Scotland is the key meeting place for stakeholders involved in delivering the Government's vision for sustainable economic growth.
