There are many ways to approach the removal of water from these situations. However, a lot depends on the size of the area, volume to be pumped and the condition of water eg: clean, muddy, contains chemicals or sewage.
Additionally, an evaluation will need to be done to determine the most efficient and effective power source for the pump, the best options available include electric 240v/415v, petrol or diesel driven.
As a general rule, small sumps can be pumped with a modest sized 240-volt submersible pump. These are easy to drop in and pump out.
However, when it comes to ditches, these usually have dirty, muddy water as well as solids to pump, the easiest way to remove the water and solids from these situations is to use a Pumps Australia AV – Flexi – driven pump which is powered by either an electric motor, petrol or diesel engine. These are fast and easy to install and are used extensively by shire councils, contractors and mine sites.
On the other hand, if permanent pumping is required, an electric powered unit is a good option. These units can be selected to ensure the right flow and pressure for the job as well as for the various materials that need to be pumped.
For a large sewage installation, a heavy duty GRT series pump with large solid handling of 76mm (the size of a cricket ball) will give you the perfect solution.
So, for pumping of sumps, ditches and the like, an evaluation of what the pumping requirements are, must be done first and foremost.
