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.
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
Large-scale – and relocatable
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.
