BBA Pumps
High-efficiency, mobile dewatering, sewer bypass and flood control.
Proven Performance, Delivered Locally
BBA Pumps are engineered in Holland and chosen for New Zealand projects because they work consistently, efficiently, and with the least environmental impact for their engine type. From civil construction to emergency response, these portable systems offer advanced drive technologies, low emissions, and reliable operation across a wide range of applications. Available through Prime Fluid Management, BBA Pumps brings global innovation to local water management challenges.
Dewatering, Sewer Bypass & Flood Control
BBA Pumps are trusted across New Zealand for critical water movement:
- Dewatering: Rapid groundwater removal for trenching, foundations, and site preparation.
- Bypass: Reliable flow control during upgrades and maintenance pipes or waterways.
- Flood Control: Fast deployment for emergency response and low footprint surface-mounted pump station solutions.
Proven in the field, BBA Pumps have supported projects such as over-pumping the Maitai River to protect Nelson City and providing relocatable infrastructure to strengthen Kaiapoi’s flood resilience.
Efficient, Portable, Future-Ready
BBA’s engineering delivers measurable benefits:
- DriveOn® Technology: Extends service intervals to 1,500 hours, reduces fuel use by 6,000L over 30,000 hours, and cuts CO₂ emissions by 15 tonnes.
- Electric & Hybrid Models: Quiet, clean, and ideal for urban or sensitive environments.
- Battery-Electric Units: Off-grid operation with solar charging and up to 10 hours of runtime.
- Hydrogen-Ready Pumps: Designed for zero-emission operation as infrastructure evolves.
BBA diesel units consistently outperform competitors with better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Because they’re designed specifically for temporary pumping, with benefits including: auto-priming, ability to run attended for long periods, low fuel use and long running autonomy, extended service intervals and low noise.
They are available in multiple configurations from silenced to open canopy, and with diesel, hybrid and electric engines.
Hydrogen, battery-electric and other energy sources are ready and waiting for the NZ market.
Yes. BBA BA-series auto-prime pumps are available up to 700mm with flow capacity of 7,800m3/hr and are deployed widely for surface-mounted flood control in Europe and the USA. Even at this size they can be readily relocated. In NZ, two BA500 pumps are in use for flood control in Kaiapoi, Waimakariri. They are fuel-independent, have automated control and quiet operation, and require little in-ground infrastructure to operate.
