Flood Control

Low-footprint, high-volume flood control

Build resilience into your stormwater network

In stormwater planning, pumps are your last line of defence. Rapid response and resilience in the face of extreme environments is critical - whether it's your work site, farm or regional district.

Prime Fluid Management has partnered with Dutch supplier BBA Pumps to tailor flood protection technology for New Zealand's changing climate. Our low-infrastructure Pad+Pump solution stands up to environmental and economic scrutiny, dramatically increasing resilience to major weather events and changing water flows.

DUTCH INNOVATION

BBA High-volume Flood Control Pumps

BBA Pumps is a manufacturer of portable pumps, piping systems and smart logistic solutions. Their BA Series multi-use pumps are designed for large-scale flood events and flood prevention.  

  • centrifugal pump with an axial flow impeller
  • dry self-priming
  • EPA Tier 4 Volvo Penta diesel engine
  • automated and remote monitoring
MOBILITY

Large-scale – and relocatable

Even when installed as part of a municipal stormwater network, BBA flood control pumps are still genuinely mobile. They require minimal infrastructure, making them an economic – and resilient, solution to climate change planning. As disaster response units, they are fully self-contained with a composite fuel tank and fluid containment system. All units feature forklift pockets and eyes and lifting hooks and will fit into a 20ft container for transport.

EFFICIENCY

Unparallelled performance and economy

BBA pumps are recognised globally for their fuel economy. The electronically controlled variable speed engines of the high-capacity flood control pump series includes models that meet EPA Tier 4 final emission requirements. 

The canopy and drives are created with an optimal balance between the output, fuel consumption and the size of the complete unit. As a result, performance efficiency sits between 85 – 88% at BEP and fuel consumption from 24L/hr.
