Ebara Corporation (hereinafter "Ebara") has received an order from the Miyazaki City Waterworks Bureau for the construction of new pump equipment at the Kawahara Stormwater Pump Station (hereinafter "this station").
Received an order for pump equipment construction for Kawahara Stormwater Pump Station in Miyazaki City
1. Background
This facility is located in a residential area facing the Oyodo River, a first-class river. When the water level of the Oyo-gawa River rises due to heavy rain, the sluice gates of the small rivers flowing into the river are closed and the pumps at the drainage stations are operated to forcibly drain the water, preventing inland flooding. However, since there were no drainage facilities in the area, small rivers could not be drained and flooding occurred frequently. The installation of pump equipment in the newly constructed drainage facility will contribute to preventing flood damage in the area.
2-1 Overview
The construction work for this pump facility is scheduled as follows: Once the five newly installed pumps are operational, the station's discharge capacity will be 300m3/min. This is enough to empty a standard 25m pool in about 2 minutes.
Construction specifications (Excerpt) | Submersible column type mixed flow pump 700DSZ type Φ700✕60m3/min✖9.8m | 5 units |
Construction period | August 8, 2023 to February 28, 2025 | |
Construction location | Gocho, Takaoka-cho, Miyazaki City |
