IJMUIDEN PUMPING STATION, The Netherlands
The IJmuiden pumping station was
constructed in 1975. It comprised
four pumps with a total capacity of
160 m3/s (576,000 m3/h). In 2004,
two Fairbanks Nijhuis propeller
pumps were added in order to increase this capacity.
Each of these pumps conveys water
at a rate of 50 m3/s (180,000 m3/h).
The permanent flooding that previously caused continuous problems
in the western area of The Netherlands could then finally be brought
to an end by this pumping system.
Fairbanks Nijhuis was involved
right from the beginning, with the
preparation of a feasibility study.

MARINA BARRAGE, Singapore
Until recently, Singapore was reliant on imports from Malaysia for its
drinking water supply. In order to
reduce this dependency, it was necessary to expand the drinking water supply in Singapore itself. Fairbanks Nijhuis supplied the pumps
needed for this project.
The project had three objectives: to
supply water, to provide flood protection and to create leisure facilities. In order to meet these aims, a
dam was built, separating the Marina Bay from the ocean. This created a basin in which rainwater
could be collected. In order to regulate the water level in the basin and
to discharge excess water into the
sea, an adjacent drainage system
with seven pumps was constructed.

MIJNDEN LOCK, The Netherlands
The Mijnden Lock is an important
access point to the Loosdrechtse
Plassen lakes from the Drecht and
Vecht rivers to the west. In many
open bodies of water in The Netherlands, including the Loosdrechtse Plassen, the fish are isolated
from neighbouring lakes and water
courses because the waterways are
regulated by pumping stations and
locks. The pumps in these pumping
stations and locks represent an insurmountable obstacle to migrating fish. And a very large number of
fish die in the pumps.
In this case, the customer, Waternet, recognised the many advantages of our fish-friendly pump
and decided to replace the existing pump at the Mijnden Lock with
a fish-friendly pump. By replacing
the pump, Waternet was also able
to meet the requirements of the
European Water Framework Directive, which sets high standards regarding the quality and fish-friendliness of waterways.

SHENZHEN, China
The metropolis of Shenzhen (with
a population of 14 million) is one of
the fastest-growing cities in Asia.
The demand for water for both domestic and industrial use is therefore enormous.
Due to this large demand, it was
necessary to expand the existing Shangpu water-supply pumping station. In addition, a second
pumping station was built to pump
untreated water through 20 km of
pipeline into the Xibeng Reservoir.
From here, the water is distributed to various locations for further
treatment. Fairbanks Nijhuis split
case pumps were used in both of
these expansion measures.

Fairbanks Nijhuis for Shenzhen

DELFT WATER BOARD, The Netherlands
In Den Hoorn in the year 2000, the
largest and most modern wastewater treatment plant in Delfland was
constructed: the Harnaschpolder.
This plant was needed in order to
cope with the increasing volume
of wastewater and to comply with
the latest standards. Nine pumping stations, including the Laakwijk
station, were retrofitted with pumps
so that some of the wastewater
from Den Haag and Rijswijk could
be transferred to the Harnaschpolder plant.
The capacity of the Laakwijk pumping station, which dates back to
1958, was increased from 2,902 m3
to 3,400 m3 per hour. Due to the location and the desire to retain the
distinctive building for the benefit
of the town, the retrofitting operation was no run-of-the-mill job. The
works were completed at the end
of 2011 and the Fairbanks Nijhuis
pumps were delivered. After a successful period of trial operation, the
pumping station was officially commissioned in 2012.
