Successful Installation and
Commissioning of Pump Pontoons
YEAR : 2016
PUMP TYPE : Horizontal Submersible
SIZE OF PONTOON : 6 mtr x 6 mtr
SITE REQUIREMENT :
We received the enquiry via internet medium, from
the reputed irrigation department, Govt. of Maharashtra. TEAM – Vtech (Parent
co. of VARI PONTOONS), responded quickly to the enquiry and requested for a
detailed discussion to understand the requirement completely so as to be able
to offer our optimum pontoon solution.
The challenge faced by them :
There was a trench on the side of the Dam and there
was also a huge difference of DAM water level in summer as compared to the
level maintained in the rainy season. In order to strike a balance in the water
level, their Executive Engineer, who had read about the pontoon technology,
suggested this concept to the Dept. and thus the enquiry was floated.
After comprehending the scope of supply and the
site requirement wrt the floating solution sought after by the Dept., Vtech
prepared and shared their proposal with the Dept. There were some rounds of
technical discussions before they and we converged and thus the supply +
installation / commissioning contract was awarded to us (Vtech).The scope
included Design, Manufacturing, installation & commissioning of the pump
pontoon. 2 submersible pumps, each of 270 HP rating were fitted, to perform the
function desired.
In about two months from the date of order receipt,
the project was commissioned at site. It was a matter of great pride and
prestige for us as we had received this very first order from the Government
sector. Our team put in all efforts to have it delivered well within the
desired time frame. It was a successful installation and stands so till date.
