Case

Bypass pumping of the Alling å

In December 2023, Alling å was blocked after a major landslide. RH Pumper was called in to perform an emergency bypass pumping of the river, which has now been rerouted to avoid pollution.

In December 2023, heavy rainfall led to a landslide at Alling å, creating a natural dam in the river and blocking the normal flow of water. This blockage posed a significant risk of flooding and potentially further damage to nearby areas, infrastructure and the environment. A quick and effective solution was needed to remedy the situation.

RH Pumps was called in to perform an emergency bypass pumping to ensure water could pass through the blocked area until a permanent solution could be implemented.

Establishing these bypass pumpings was a major challenge due to weather conditions and a very hilly terrain. The system had to be able to handle large volumes of water over a long period of time to ensure that the water level was kept down.

Scope of the solution

RH Pumper implemented a large bypass pumpings consisting of:

  • 5 x 300 mm pumps
  • 2 x 200 mm pumps
  • 4 parallel transmissions, each with a length of 800 meters

The combined capacity of the pumps and piping made it possible to handle large volumes of water quickly and efficiently, helping to prevent further flooding and reduce pressure on the natural flow of the Alling å.

This project illustrates how rapid response and the use of the right technology can alleviate acute problems associated with extreme weather conditions. RH Pumper demonstrated a strong ability to handle complex challenges and work with local authorities to find effective solutions during an emergency situation.
