MrGaggadded that therewasalsoagrowing
trend to outsource expert advice to solve
complex water and wastewater challenges
with customised solutions.
“Xylem ‘packages’ dewatering equipment
with engineering expertise and dewatering
project management as part of a rental
agreement. This delivers peace of mind
to the customer as we analyse the need,
develop a tailored solution and implement
a complete solution to the dewatering problem,
managing the entire challenge for the customer
from start to finish. More often than not there are
many different elements to a particular project. For
example, customersmaybe facedwithadewatering
issueaswell as theneed to treatwastewater before
it is removed andpumped elsewhere.
"It is important that the dewatering partner
a customer chooses to work with can provide
solutions for thewide rangeof challengeswater can
pose.
“When faced with a problem, customers look for
the right solution at short notice. Our rental teams
work with customers to develop the most effective
and comprehensive response to the challenge
quickly, not just providingpumps,” saidMr Gagg.
Another factor fuelling the growth of rental is the
introduction of strict off-highway diesel emissions
laws in the US and Europe – currently Tier 4 Final
and Stage IV respectively. These regulations affect
the engines that power dewatering pumps. As well
as reducing emissions, these new cleaner engines
have added expense to the cost of purchasing
dewatering pumps, and renting can be amore cost-
effectiveway of adhering to the regulations.
